Welcome to Scamwarners.
This is part of what we're here for. For people to google on the scams they receive, and be directed here.
In thi example, the scammer is asking for your surname.
As The Enchantress says, it's an advance fee fraud. The victim is asked to pay taxes, bank charges, etc, before he/she can receive the imaginary inheritance.
The reason for these details to be released to me is for me to be sure i am not corresponding with the wrong person.Note that you are been contacted because of your family name and as such,i must be very sure someoneelse is not playing a fast one on either of us.

Nonsense, of course. The email was sent out in bulk, and he won't name the "deceased" until you give him your surname.
Sometimes, they are less subtle, and just ask the victim to pose as the next of kin. Something they describe as completely legal, and risk free. A very small proportion of recipients do fall for these scams.

Very true, it is 100% nonsense, but also be careful;

I have had many hundreds of these email in my various inboxes, on just one occasion, the deceased person's surname was the same as mine, well, the same as the fake name I used on that email account, in that instance, it was also a scam but be careful, many email address use the persons full name, scammers will take a guess as to the surname hoping to make their scam look more legitimate, but it is not common
