The DHL e-mail Scam

So this scam has many hallmarks of a scam. First, they address you as if the money is yours, and you are expecting it, yet they want your name. Second, there is a fee. (If this was legit, the would have just paid any fees out of your money before they sent it to you.)
2 easy rules to live by when dealing with anyone on the internet. Never pay for $. Never take "extra money" (In a cashiers check or something), and then pay the other party back from your real money.
