ATTENTION:Client

In the UK there is no such thing as an “attorney at law” – that’s an American phrase.  We have a different legal system and have solicitors or barristers.  Of course most people who receive this scam won’t know that, as I imagine it has been sent to millions of people worldwide.
“Morris Wright Becker” doesn’t know who you are, he doesn’t even know your name, which is why he addresses you as “client”, despite telling you that you have the same name as his (invented) deceased client.
If you make the mistake of replying, you will find yourself being asked for money by this scammer.  Just ignore him.

Sumatra Indonesia.

my late client. He has a deposit of Seventeen Million Five hundred Thousand

    Oh, this is one I really wasn’t aware of. And here I am in America, but as far as I knew we call lawyers “lawyers” or “attornies”. I’d never applied it to UK,I’ll bet a lot of other people didn’t make the connection either, so thanks for filling us in!
