That email is absolutely a scam 100%. First clue is that a bank would never contact you from a Gmail email address. Also, they are asking you for a payment in advance before sending you the money they are promising you. This is known as an "Advance Fee Fraud" scam. They are also asking you to send the payment to a different bank than the bank they are claiming to contact you from, which is not something a bank would ever do.

I advise you not to reply to this email or any others like it. If you have already replied just cut communication with the sender immediately.

The above email is a scam using a false identity with intent to defraud.

The scammer will try to convince one to send money in advance. In exchange the scammer will promise even more money or assets will be sent in return. It is all a complete lie.
