No, it's a scam. They get your $3,500 and your get nothing.
Without reviewing the documents you received it is impossible to say for sure, but this sounds suspiciously like what is commonly called "the Nigerian Scam." You can Google that and read all about thousands of innocent victims who have sent money to some unknown person after receiving a very convincing email "notification." I don't know the law in the Cayman Islands, but I would be very leery of sending money to become qualified for the privilege of receiving money. That just smells of scam and fraud to me.
