If the email in any way involves the transfer of foreign funds to the US or requires you to put money up front, it is a scam. No one, and I mean no one, gives money away for free.

Does the email mention anything about an unknown person with the same last name as yours? Does it also go on to say that this person Died in a Car crash, explosion, plane crash etc? Its most definitely a scam. I get those type of emails at least once or twice a week.
