Sounded kinda fishy...After all, a real lawyer, even a foreign one, would spell better than that...So I copied the name "Samuel Oriaku" and popped it into Google, and on an Internet Fraud message board, I found that someone had posted the exact same e-mail...
Needless to say I will not be responding to "Samuel Oriaku (ESQ)" and definitely not sending him the ridiculous fee he would have asked for to "process my claim" or something.
If you should recieve a similar e-mail, just delete the damned thing.
Remember, pretty much all e-mails like this are scams.
