The salient point is (as ryck and honestone have pointed out, as have others in any number of forums):
If email comes from an unknown source and even more so if there are significant grammatical and/or spelling errors in the message —
• destroy the sucker immediately
• never ever reply to such a message (even if you just wish to vent your displeasure through invective, including obscenities, in the pursuit of feeling better) since it will provide the sender with evidence that your email address is valid
• even more important, never ever click on any embedded hotlink; it is almost certain that your computer will be compromised
