Someone's trying to scam your Inheritance

This is an apparent bank scam that claims someone is trying to scam you of your scam. :) In other words, the bank is claiming someone is trying to claim you are dead so you won't get the millions which should rightfully be yours. I wonder what they'll reply if we tell them we're dead. I would bet they'll then take the bait and ask for the next of kin. This one had a quite catchy Subject: RE:ARE YOU ALIVE/DEAD?

From, Mrs. Rose Morgan.
Federal Ministry of Finance
