Letter informing of inheritance from deceased relative.

Scammer requests 'full details' and requests you contact him either by phone or email.

Much the same as the previous author. My late aunt (who only passed away a year ago) was the sole beneficiary of the estate worth USD10 420 000.00 which is sitting in a Hong Kong bank and Mr Uow was willing to split the money in half if i confirmed my full details by email or phone. The letter has no official header (just plain white A4 paper) and has apparently been sent to her through a colleague travelling to Europe so the European postal system can be utilised, in addition it says he hired an heir hunter to find her.

Received two postal scam letters supposedly from this man containing inheritance scam. Seems very unusual to receive through the post with my full name.

Letter arrived in the mail claiming a deceased relative with a similar name had left money in Mr Uow's Hong Kong bank which Mr Uow is willing to share with me if I provide my "full details". He claims to have asked a colleague to post the letter in Europe so that it could be delivered quickly.
I notice that other people of heard from him with the same name and phone number but a slightly different email address (goaauow@yahoo.com/hk)
