Spelling Lesson

Someone recently sent me an email that they had received from another scam merchant.
I will protect individual names but basically the email ran as follows

Good day M
This is a personal E-mail directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am Micheal Brian a solicitor at law practicing in London.
I have a proposition to bring to your attention if you would be interested. This is about late JJ. I have been given final notice to present his relative to come for his assets or else it will be forfeited. I have done thorough search in order to identify any of his relatives, but all efforts have been abortive.
kindly contact me via my private email for detailed information and better confidentiality: m.brianesq@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Micheal Brian Esq
.

The lessons to be learned are as follows:
1. These people can't write in decent English let along legal English;
2. There are spelling and grammatical errors right left and centre (but I don't propose to give them a free lesson in how to get their fraudulent activities under control);
3. They don't even know how to spell their own fictitious name correctly - Micheal indeed!
4. Never never reply to these people.
