{icep} and I wish to notify you that You can be listed as Heir to the total sum
of (Twelve million six hundred thousaund United states dollars) in the codicil

your name identity. All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance.
In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to me your
letter of acceptance, your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding
address to enable me file necessary documents at our high court probate division

This is absolutely a scam. Just googling "independent committee of eminent person" shows that several scams have used the organization as a backdrop (only it should actually be "persons", not "person".

Here's one example of your letter from a few months ago.

100% scam as Dotti says. Can you edit your posting to undisguise his email address, so it shows up on search engines, please. It helps lead potential victims here.

This scam also on this site;

ATTENTION,

AFTER SERIES OF MESSAGES BOTH BY EMAIL AND POSTAL SERVICES, I AM AMAZED THAT YOU STILL ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT RECEIVING YOUR (TEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND BRITISH POUNDS) INHERITANCE FUNDS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST MESSAGE I WILL BE SENDING OUT TO YOU.

UPON THE RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL I WILL NEED YOU TO RECONFIRM THE FOLLOWING DETAILS TO ME SO I CAN VERIFY IF THE MISTAKE WAS FROM ME AND ALSO START UP WITH THE PROCESS REQUIRED TO GET YOUR INHERITANCE FUNDS TO YOU.

YOUR DATES SUCH AS YOUR FULL NAMES, RESIDENTIAL OR BUSINESS MAILING ADDRESS AND A WORKING TELEPHONE NUMBER TO AID COMMUNICATION WOULD BE REQUIRED. I WILL ALSO ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT LEAVE THIS MAIL UNATTENDED TO SO THAT WE CAN CONCLUDE MATTERS CONCERNING YOUR INHERITANCE.

BEST REGARDS

While there are many ways to tell a scam email, one of the first and easiest ways to identify the ones like this is to remember that someone you have never spoken to before will never send you an email out of the blue to discuss a multi-million dollar transaction. If the email involves a large sum of money, it is a scam. (please note that emails with smaller amounts of money may also be scams as well).
