This is a very standard format for an orphan/Next of Kin Scam.
If you were to reply to this email, you would very quickly be asked to write to a "bank" (a fake banker with a free webmail email address). They would ask for your ID and personal information and then the fees would start, and never stop until you either ran out of money or finally stopped paying them.

Dear
It is my honour to write you this letter for a business partnership based on trust and sincerity. I am Ms Viviana Ozuah Kibaki and a Kenyan refugee, student.
I escaped from Nairobi and reside in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire since after the poitical killings this year january. My father lost his life January right there in NAIROBI.
My request to you is for your sincere support in the protection of the heritage valued at
12 million usd belonging to my late dad, Major Mark Williams Kibaki. My only brother and myself are the next of kin . It will be favourable for you to stand in as the family beneficiary for the heritage and receive it into your bank account in your country of choice.
It is hard to trust one now with the volume of lies all over the internet; yes. But give my proposal a thought and let us work together to finalise this. I will offer you 12% for your sincere support in receiving the Heritage and securing it until our arrival there to meet you. This offer is in good faith and we ask for your understanding. All expenses you will do will be repaid back with 5% in good faith and gratitude.
Reply me as soon as possible and include your tel nr. and your address for us to give you a formal and legal power of attorney as our beneficiary.
And we can call you directly.
Most sincerely
Ms Viviana Ozuah. KIBAKI.
