This is another Advance Fee Fraud (419 scam).
This time the barrister claims to represent a possible investor.
NOTE:
1. The email is not directly addressed to a specific person, despite the claim to have found your name via a chamber of commerce.
2. Neither the country pf the Lawyer, the Investor, nor you is mentioned.
3. The full address of the Lawyer is not given.
4. The investor expects you to pay out for equipment etc.
This means you will be paying out for all sorts of fees, which is the intention. There will be no transfer of the funds to you, only the transfer of fees by you.
