    Trying to decide if this is spam

    Ok, I'm about 95% sure this is spam/scam.

    Edit: Gots to be a scam!

    Dear Friend,
    I am Peter Fischer, An Accountant in London, United Kingdom. I got
    your Contact from the British Council, and I have decided to contact you so
    that we can carry out this mutually beneficial business transaction. My late
    Client (A National of your COUNTRY) until his death aboard an AERO
    FLIGHT 801 in 2001 deposited a total of USD$5.5M with CHARTERED BANK
    OF LONDON ,UNITED KINGDOM.
    He gave me the custody of the deposit documents, and as such Entrusted
    me with the Legal Rights To transfer and execute this deposit to any Next
    Of Kin after his demise. I have since tried to
    Locate any Next of Kin without success, hence I
    Decided to contact you so that you can rightfully
    Stand as the next of kin to inherit the deposited
    Sum by virtue of the fact you share the same SURNAME As my late CLIENT.
    I am writing you confidential because you will be
    able to claim this DEPOSIT because you have the same
    SURNAME as my Late CLIENT. Yo u will be entitled to 50% of the total
    sum should you be willing to assist me in this business transaction,10%
    will be earmarked for taxation Expense and I will get the remaining
    40%.Iwill prepare a formal agreement to guide us in this transaction
    foraccountability purpose.

    Please reply to my private below.

    ----Censored-----

    total scam lol. If those words were capped already then even more obvious scam. Just stay away from that stuff. They usually phone you for serious money shit instead of an email.

    Most of the punctuation is wrong also. I would expect an accountant to have perfect English.

    Those were may exact thoughts, the email just looked so unprofessional coming from an Accountant. And thats ignoring the fact that it was a email, when for something like this you'd recieve a phone call >_>.

    Oh yeah he also repeated one of his sentences that he typed out twice :P.
