This scammer has included a reference number so that the correspondence looks official, plus has set a time limit for the 'finalization' of the claim, to encourage anyone responding to this to act quickly - hopefully before they think too much about it, or ask somebody else's advice about this 'deposited fund'.
This scam letter will have been sent to many email addresses, it is not personal to one recipient. The scammer will introduce some fees to be paid before the money is released. In reality, there is no money to release, no money to inherit. It is a scam.
