Default Could This Be A Fraud?

I received the following e-mail and was thinking, how this amount could buy us all a brand new Scooter.

Do you think I should send them all my personal banking info, so I can receive this generous gift? The Sender is out of work so I don't want to delay.

Please advise..

Goodday Dear,

You have been cleared to receive direct part payment of US$550.000.00
compensation as a new resolution taken to end all over delayed fund due to
you. All efforts to reach you about this failed due to bad people out
there trying to stop your payment since and no report from you. Now
receive payment by ATM Card at Oceanic Bank Int'l Plc. Benin. where your
fund is deposited for security reasons.
Because, I am presently out of work under emergency to resume by month end
but, all arrangements was made with the Bank to make direct payment by ATM
master card which is generally accepted to making withdrawal of your
money,
