Legal Question in International Law in Maine

Next of Kin

I received an email from a lawyer from Mohar&Associates from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In this email he tells me that he is an attorney at law and the accredited legal representative to late Mr. Richard--name removed-- who was his clent. He tells me he is contacting me to assist in the distribution of the funds left behind by his late client, before it is confiscated or declared underviceable by the custodian bank, and this deposit valued at 4.5 mil. He says that the bank has issued him a notice to contact the next of kin, or have the account confiscated. His proposition is to seek my consent in presenting me as the next of kin beneficiary to his late clients Estates, since I have the same last name, so the proceeds of this account can be remitted into my account as a foreign partner. Aslo that all legal documentations to back up my claims as his late clients next of kin will also be provided. And that the transactions will be executed under a legitimate arrangement, which will protect me from any infraction of the law. I have a copy of his ID card of his law firm, saying that he is part of the Kuala Lumpur Bars Association. My ? is, is this legal? I have been in touch by email with him and he has contacted me by phone.
