Don't they even give their format a cursory review?

It looks like the lad is using a format he bought or was assigned by his oga. I would think he would at least skim through it for completeness before sending it out.

Dear --------------

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should be treated as such. I am andrew smith, a solicitor at law.

I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late Mr. Mark ------- , hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who worked as an independent oil magnate in my country and who died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 5th of Nov 2015. Since the death of my client in Nov, 2015 I have written sev . . . [blah, blah, blah for three paragraphs].

Like I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please let me have your opinion as soon as possible and if this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.

My response:

My name is Kim <redact> of South Korea. I don't know why you address me so impersonally. It is almost insulting. Furthermore, I have no relatives named Mark. Can you please verify that I am the one you are trying to reach? I do not know anything about a £9.8 million deposit.
