Apparently, I have an inheritance of £5 million

This is one of the more unsophisticated spam posts. rediffmail is a (legitimate, I believe) mail host that seems to be based in India. No attempt has been made to obscure this, it is even the same address the post was sent from, which is unusual. However, there is the usual tortured English and no company name. Albert Square is real, but this address and post code is only for Manchester City Council's offices. Maybe Philip Sissons actually works there?

Attn: Please,

We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a Heir to the total sum of Five million British pounds in the codicil and last testament of our deceased client.

A regular mail was dispatched to you but yet no reply from you.

We are contacting you again because the instruction stipulates that this fund should be paid directly to you upon his demise.

We request you to kindly acknowledge officially, enabling us file all necessary legal documents to the paying bank for the urgent release of your inheritance.

Please send an acknowledgment email to enable us process your inheritance.

Yours Truly,
Philip Sissons,
Albert Square
Manchester
M60 2LA
United Kingdom
