Suspected email scam

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I received an email from this address: [email protected]
This was the message:

My name is Scott Smith, Attorney at law. Sequel to your non response to my previous email, I am re-sending this to you again thus; A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours,who died as the result of a heart-related condition on January 28th 2009. I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client which is lodged in the bank.

Regards,
Scott Smith

I believe this is a scam, probably with the intention of getting me to send money in order to get money. Has anyone heard from this person before?
