My father recently got one of these messages - via snail mail.
It went something like this:
Dear "John James Smith":
We here at <random made-up bank that is supposed to be in the UK> have a customer whose name is similar to yours. He died intestate with an estate worth £18 million. The estate must belong to you, "Joseph James Smith", because your names are so similar. Please write me back.
Best regards,
<signature illegible>
Mr. Thomas D. Asshat, Esq.
<names changed to protect the innocent ... and the guilty>
There's a sucker born every minute. Fortunately, my father isn't among them.
