No, I haven't received such email. But as far as I know, such emails need to be reported. And you'll definitely want to stay away from them.
Lots of spammers are doing this. I even received an email from a pretentious lawyer saying that he needed my help to transfer the funds from a repose client to my account. And he's starting to ask me about my account details. Once transfer is made, he'll come to my place and we'll divide the money appropriately.
