According to previous questions on this site, it is most likely a scam, especially if they want money off you before they can give you your 'inheritance'.

Here's why I think it's a scam:
1.The e-mail appears on a website which tracks all scam e-mails:
http://www.repository.izone.me.uk/repository.p l?action=read_email&email=20070712120343&month =August&year=2007
2. The address given in that e-mail is listed for a firm called Euro RSCG LIfe (not for Kenneth Tyler & Associates) on this website:
http://www.londononline.co.uk/area/High_Holbor n_WC1V/
3. The phone number given is for Talk Telecom's 'find me anywhere (including overseas)' service, not for a landline in London.
4. The fax number is also odd. (0871 numbers are used by some of the smaller telecommunications firms who don't use geographic numbers. These include firms who will forward faxes to, say, Africa).
5. The IP address (196.29.219.102) is associated with scam lottery e-mails:

6. The IP address is registered in Mauritius:

7. I used to write wills for a living. I've never written one where the testator gave the e-mail address of a beneficiary, rather than a postal one.
Convinced?
