Public Warning.-Scammers passing themselves off as Spanish lawyers and law firms

I am getting this kind of letters every 2 years or so; I think I received 4 of them by now (I live in Canada). I remember that the first ones were even more elaborate - the paper quality was better and they were actually hand-signed; I couldn't believe it when I saw the pen indentation on paper. They also had regular stamps glued to the envelope which was interesting. I guess right now they went with mass mailing because the envelope has machine-stamped postage. These days they also add a fairly well made website to make things believable, but they fail on details.
At any rate, since they propose something obviously illegal (they suggest that I impersonate a next of kin of the supposedly dead person in order to take over the money) it's obviously a scam...
