DO NOT reply to the email. It's a scam. It's just another in the long line of Internet and mail scams, usually out of Nigeria, but sometimes the UK and Canada as well.
What will happen is this: You agree and the scammer says he'll route the money through your account (or the account of someone you know). In order to do that, of course, he'll need certain financial information, such as a routing and account number, maybe even your social security number. Before you know it, the scammer hasn't put any money in to your account but rather wiped it out.
There are variances on the scam. You might be sent a cashier's check, which clears the bank initially and then comes back counterfeit...after you've sent the cash equivalent in a money order from your own account.
If you never played a foreign lottery, you can't win one. If you've never had an account with a certain bank and are asked to provide further information, a scammer is looking to steal from you. If a complete stranger blindly e-mails you promising you millions, it's a scam. If it looks to good to be true, it quite certainly is, now more than ever.

Can a person be legally entitled to something that "was promised" to them but which isn't mentioned in the written will of the deceased?

My step dad passed in March with no will. My mom is still living. Are his kids entitled to anything even if he disowned them years ago?
