Email multi million dollar inheritance scam

[Brokeneagle]

I received this email today, complete with incorrect spellings, questionable punctuation, and strangely improper English, from a 'barrister' overseas. I know this is a scam, but some other poor, desperate folk might be suckered into this sad turkey. Supposedly this came to me via a FaceBook email address I have never used.

Dear Kent
I am advocate peter robert, I am Making an offer to you in relation to the
death of late Eng. Kent, who was my client before his death in an auto
crash that took the lives of his entire family,
leaving some
Large sum of money ($ 13.5 million U.S.D) in the bank. After
unsuccessful business
attempts in one of the african country, I decided to contact you since
you share the same surname to stand as his next of kin since they is
no one to stand for the claim.
please kindly get back to me for more details.
I expect your urgent response through my direct email
([email protected])

Thank you for your quick response.
Barrister peter robert.
