Getting e-mails from countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa and other African countries are common nowadays. All of the people who contact you have same or related stories about the tragedy of their family and relatives and try to convince that they are interested in transfering their families left over wealth to you so you can invest in profitable business in your country. But as matter of fact, there's no such thing. Lot of people, some of whom I know, have got scammed by the e-mailers.
Friendly advice: ignore such things and do not give attention; otherwise the results have been notice as very terrible.
