Thanks for any information about it!

Welcome LexArt,
and thank you for a perfect report complete with the header of the scam mail! When you do a Google search for the scammer's email address you will find dozens of scam warnings.

Your scammer is trying one of the oldest scams in the book, the "Dying Widow" scam.
He - it is almost certainly a young male - will pass you on to a "barrister" - an accomplice or another role he is playing - who will want fees and yet more fees until he has bled his victim dry.

In Malaysia - that's where the email came from - there is a large community of Nigerian scammers.

Hello, Katharina!
Thanks for the information, I've already googled this email and I've found warnings about this scam.
With best wishes, Alex (aka LexArt}

i got the same email with another name. The name was lero mariam. The email was [email protected] aswell. But the wording of the email was exactly the same.

Welcome to ScamWarners mabs88 and thank you for this additional information. It will help others too.
