Chinese bank transfer of funds

I received an e-mail from a man in Hong Kong working with the Bank of China. Their late client left a sizable bank account and has no next of kin. Is it legal to receive those funds standing as benificiary for to transfer the funds to my account and receiving a percentage from the Bank of China's representative for this service?

Proceed with caution. Many individuals are receiving similar e-mails which are designed to get legitimate bank account numbers from individuals as part of a scam that rips-off victims without every paying them anything. You may want to contact the FBI about the e-mail that you received.

Such letters are scams where the end result is that they steal all the money from YOUR bank account. Do not reply to such letters.
