Hey, damnit, Levi Carson was my Uncle. Why did this jerk send you the letter instead of me. I believe I am Levi's sole heir. Please send the letter to me. I am entitled to the money, regardless what Mr. Olusoga says. Damn Nigerians!

By opening that email, you just told whomever sent it that your email account is valid. Now you should expect about a minimum of 20 spam emails a day, either directly to your Inbox or, if you're lucky, into your Bulk folder.
DO NOT REPLY EVEN WITH NASTY WORDS OR COMMENTS! That will make it worse & the spam will mulitply. Delete it immediately, then run a full virus scan on your computer. Pray that it didn't release a Trojan virus somewhere.

Oh yes. By all means, respond. When they ask you for money, be sure to send it all right away.
Then, just to be sure, send MORE money.
If you have a house, mortagage it. If you have children, sell them.
What you want to do is give every scrap of money you can to someone a continent or two away that you've never met.
Why wouldn't you trust them? After all, they're going to offer you something for nothing, right?
Of course!

It is a scam. They will convince you to give them some admin fee / deposit to process your claim. Some victims were cheated alot of money & went to the respective places to claim back their own money + money promised to them but the victims went missing ever since. I'm not sure they were lost, murdered, victimized, etc. So, for goodness sake, please do not fall for it. NEVER. Please DELETE the mail. Who knows there's viruses as well in the mail. *gasp!*
