A NOK (Next-of-Kin) scam from Burkina Faso. Simply put the scammer wants you to step in as the beneficiary of the non-existent $18.3M. What the scammer doesn't tell you in the first email is that you will be pestered to pay fees, fees and more fees usually via western union or moneygram. Some scammers seem to think that Capitalizing Every First Letter Appears More Professional Or Plausible. I find it insanely annoying and is simply another indicator that it is a scam.
