The email says that you can turn up in person at an address in London to claim your prize, but you will have to confirm your identity and eligibility.
If you don’t want to visit London, then you can choose to pay a mere £385 to have the necessary paperwork couriered to you.
for your convenience, we can have your Facebook Claim Paper Work sent to you via our contracted Courier Service for signing and then send back to us to effect immediate release of your Winning. But note that you are to bear courier charges of this option which attracts the sum of £385 British Pound, only to be paid if you decide to settle for the Facebook Claim Paper Work to be sent to you via our contracted Courier Service.
