Email Scam

I'm checking my e-mail and found this.

to undisclosed recipients
I am PA to Mrs. Lilian Bishop, i am sending you this email in regards to her last wish because she has been diagnosed with cancer for a very long period. She has been touched to Will the sum $12,000,000.00 from what she has inherited from her late husband to you for charitable & humanitarian causes. For more info do establish communication with her attorney, Frank David on email address: barr.frankdavid@rogers.com

I'm sure this is an email and scam and this is what I found on my research

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.
Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!
