Somebody snookered you, Ralph.
Sorry to bust the bubble, but this e-mail hoax has been circulating the net since 2004.
It's one of the ongoing "top ten" urban legends. The only thing that changes is the name of the "attorney."
You can verify forwarded messages and get-rich schemes like this by going to:
www.snopes.com Snopes maintains a website dedicated to rooting out what's true and what is not true. You'll find this hoax listed on their top ten.
In the early years, it only mentioned the newspaper
Today. Now, I see, it's claiming to have been on the Good Morning Today show ...talk about whisper down the lane, this is really blooming.
Take care Ralph.
You gave me a good chuckle today that someone roped you in on this one. *grin*
