It's a scam by a company who recruit job seekers and trick them into assisting in criminal fraud. Just mark it as spam/delete it.

These are all a load of crap, its just spam. I just got this one:

US$3 MILLION WILLED TO YOU:

The Christ Church,

My dear,

Notification of Bequest

On behalf of the trustees and executors to the Will of late Engr.Philip J Kim I have tried to reach you by mail through your postal address but the letter was returned undelivered. I now try your address as I wish to notify you that you were named as a beneficiary to the bequest of the sum of US$3,000,000.00 [Three Million United States Dollars] in the codicil and last testament of the deceased.

The lateEngr.Philip J Kim, until his death was a former managing director and pioneer staff of a giant construction company. He was a very dedicated Christian and A strong member of my parish. He was a great philanthropist and this earned him a papal award during his life time.

Late Engr.Philip J Kim died on 9Th Ma rch, 2004 and was buried on the 20Th of the same month. His will is now in execution. Late Engr.Philip J Kim lived and worked here as a foreigner but requested before his death that he be buried here. In his words, "I regard here as my home and the people as my people" He said that this token is to either support your Charity activities or to encourage you to engage in helping the less privileged.

As a sign of identification and to enable the attorney file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of the bequest, the trustees requires you to confirm the following:
i. Your full name,
ii. Your Date of birth,
iii. Your occupation,
iv. Your current telephone and fax numbers.

Note: If there is a change of address, send also the current contact address. When responding to this mail, include the above required information and also a copy of this mail. Please send your reply to ( [e-mail] ).

Thanks and remain blessed.

Yours in his service,

Peter Idamba.

[CreampieSuprise]

I wouldn't trust any type of email that comes from unknown sources in your inbox...

[SunChipsClock]

It's spam obviously. Why would they send job aps to a 13 year old?

[GlockEH]

Wow, that's a lot of money for him to leave you. Was he a nice person? I'm sure they aren't trying to scam you or anything.
