I Just Received a Scary Letter

HI OK so I just went to the letterbox and received a letter with an airmail stamp. This made me wonder who on earth it could be from. When i opened it up I found a letter from someone called 'Shuji Kobayashi' when i google this person it is some famous photographer which makes me think it is just a front. The letter was one of 'those' letters, the ones that say a family member came to see them in 2001 and they helped this person achive 8.5million. In 2003 he passed away and because we have the same name i should claim all this money and go halfs with this Shuji person. Has anyone ever received a letter like this before? Im unsettled that people out there know my address and my details, and also i am afraid to do internet banking now? Can anyone help me if there is some sort of solution to this or something i should be doing? thanks

Oh yeah? That's weird it is same message as they sent on emails I guess but the weirdest thing is that they know their address. Wow, you need to find the right place where you can report it. I am pretty sure it is a scam because I always received email with same messages everyday, to claim the money etc.....Maybe better respond after this post. :)
