Can you please verify this e-mail, newjersy.com because they are telling me that the email is legit and there's no scams in it.

I have many different emails from topflightmesenger.com and they gave me details about Mrs jeniffer legal adviser. They said they sent money through topflight that is now in South Africa, but I must pay clearance for that donation so it can arrive where I work and I track the parcel funds. So I'm confused. I Googled everything they gave me in the emails address and persons are saying it's all true.
