There is no doubt that this is a fraud mail. Have you ever heard a lawyer to accept clien's order (specially totally unknown to him) by mail? If you know anyone that can accept such orders never trust him because is the foolest person in the lawyers world wide community .

Dear karthik

Welcome to this forum.
Is double scam letter.
1. Identity theft (asks all your personal info)
2. Advance fee fraud for a lotter that does not exist.
