Just received a scam letter today purportedly from a Business Relations Manager of a large bank in Hong Kong. He claims that someone with the same surname as Mr LL has died in China after depositing a very large sum of money in his bank and he would like to go 50/50 with us. Apparently the banking corporation does exist. Is there any authority I should alert to this letter?

My MIL got one like this- she's in her 90's. ??? ???
So he's paid for two stamps then. Wonder how much he is going to "invest".
I had one of these letters a couple of months ago from South Africa. The relative who apparently "died" in a car crash was actually sitting next to me when I opened the letter!
