He says you are the only relative he can find, and wants you to claim the funds from your relatives trust, and split them 60/40?

Sure...this is SPAM and a CON. The sender just wants to get your checking account information so they can STEAL from you! Forget it...ignore it, or better, report the email to your provider, typically...
spam@emailprovider.com
for example
spam@yahoo.com
spam@msn.com

This is a variant of an old internet phishing scam. Superficial changes have occurred over time, but it remains basically the same.
Although I'm unable to provide you with a source, try typing in specifics from your letter into a search engine. Many times you will find information about the specific phishing scam in your inbox.
Always be cautious when sending private information over the internet. Other than that, I can only say I've seen this con in a thousand different forms in my inbox.
