Although the link to the tragedy is real, the email of course is a scam. We are sorry for the family's loss, and even more sorry someone will take advantage of such a loss. The scam will be simple, in order to get your inheritence, you will have to pay a fee of some kind, be it a tax, or processing fee or attorney fee. This fee of course will need to be wired somewhere, and wherever it is, it is not coming back.
The Scam makes no sense as why would someone you don't know leave you money? Why would a Solicitor (attorney) email you and not call? Why don't they even know your name? You are in the will, but no name? Makes no sense, but I am still worried someone will fall for this scam.
The email comes from ahmadijafa@sbcglobal.net but they want you reply to solicitors1006@sify.com. Would you not think an attorney firm would have their own email account / domain? Just silly at best.
Hope no one falls for it!

This is our second letter to you on this issue, the initial letter we posted to your address was returned as undelivered. My name is Dr. David Moore, We are solicitors to the great Atlanta Physician and Philanthropists Mr.George Brumley.
I wish to notify you that he made you one of the beneficiaries of his estate. He left the sum of Five Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars to you.
He must have been in contact with you in the past or you were nominated to him in "his vision" to expand his Charity work, and he instructed that you are to use part of the funds to promote his legacy through activities that aim to help the old, poor, needy and disabled in the society. Please get back to me
