Welcome LexArt,
and thank you for a perfect report complete with the header of the scam mail! When you do a Google search for the scammer's email address you will find dozens of scam warnings.

Your scammer is trying one of the oldest scams in the book, the "Dying Widow" scam.
He - it is almost certainly a young male - will pass you on to a "barrister" - an accomplice or another role he is playing - who will want fees and yet more fees until he has bled his victim dry.

In Malaysia - that's where the email came from - there is a large community of Nigerian scammers.
