I got a letter from him too. I sincerely doubt it, the wording is terrible and he used alot of the word "actually", not professional enough for a legit lawyer I'm afraid.

I think this is a scam. I just wondered where he got my name and address. Spain is too far from Australia. He wanted to share my inheritance of 3.7 million euros.

We got a letter from the guy too, posted from Portugal. I think they have discovered Australian White Pages website. No real inheretance I am afraid.

There is no registered lawyer in Spain under that name.

Please read the following article:

Public Warning.-Scammers passing themselves off as Spanish lawyers and law firms - 13th March 2009

9. Something strange about their names? Funny names such as “Woley Fernandez” or “Barrister Perez Santos ESQ” are names made up by Nigerians conducting 419 advance fee scams (the terms “Barrister” or “ESQ” don’t exist in Spanish law). Also, fraudsters tend to cite fake organisms such as “The Ministry of Finance” or “The Security Company”.

Have just seen a letter from Barrister Mankin Victor claiming an inheritance of 3,750,000. "I must solicit your confidence in this transaction ... its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret" (sic).
