My name is _____, an attorney at law based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr. _____, who here in shall be referred to as my client, died as a result of heart-related disease in November 2004.
I have contacted you to assist me in claiming the money left behind by my late client before it is declared unserviceable by the bank and the money reversed to government treasury. The deposit value is $_____United States dollars.
He has no next of kin, but we share the same last name. What think I should do?

Above poster is correct, it is scam and you either end up getting bilked out of your money or your identity stolen if you respond.

I have received so many of those and now they don't even pretend that I'm a next of kin they say they will pay me to pose as though I am. I'm not stupid, I hit the junk button ASAP. You know what they say if it sounds too good to be true? It usually (always) is! Best advice to you NEVER click anything from anyone you don't know. Run a good spyware program regularly.
