If you've inherited anything, you would never be notified by email. You would be contacted by the estate representative and called to a meeting. At that meeting you and any other interested parties would be read the will. It's unlikely there would be a 10 day window for you to claim the money--if it's yours, it's yours.
If, by chance, maybe this has all happened and they have been trying to track you down and there really is a time frame, then respond to the email and agree to meet the representative. But do NOT give out your social security number, bank account number or anything else!!! If this is legit, then all they need is a meeting with you so you can view and sign some documents. |

If you inherited it, it is not going to be confiscated. The executor of the will has the duty to see that you received it. |

If you have to give them any money (or check) as a "good faith" deposit... run as fast as you can away from this.
Any "will" with a 10 day time table is a scam!
They sent you an Email?????? This is a "SCAM"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Or; you could also refer this to an attorney (just not theirs)......
BTW: It's scary to see how many people think this is legit. |

*assuming this isn't fake* Uh...yeah. Btw, you do know that after taxes and whatnot, you'd only be getting like half of that amount, right? |

Yes, because your relative wouldnt of gave it to you if he didnt want you to have it! Just take it! |

of course you should take it! if you don't feel comfortable keeping that kind of money, there are many charaties that could put it to good use, like habitat for humanity or ronald mcdonald house charities. you should take this opportunity to make someone else's life better, you'll be a better person for it. |

Why wouldn't/shouldn't you take it? However, if its "Dollers" that's another story. I would want mine in DOLLARS. |

If it was a legitimate inheritance, they would NOT contact you via email. They would call and/or send you certified mail. Do not give them any personal information, such as social security, bank accounts etc. If you really think it is real, then contact them in person. |

You are waiting on what? You might ask who the lawyer is that is handling the estate, then talk to him. Get the details and go for it. Again, what are you waiting for? If you don't want it, give it to me--there's lots of charities that need help, there's lots of investments to be made. Wealth isn't just mansions and big cars. Wealth means you have the means to do the work you really want to do. It also means that when you do, you are the boss, or if you hire a manager, you are the boss' boss. Go for it. |

Take it, give back part of it to the society, do something for the society. If this relative has children of his own, you might want to secure something for them too. Someone did you a good turn , spread the happiness. Of course you keep some for yourself. |
