It’s a phishing email that’s been out for some time. There is a sticky above about this one and others like it.

I edited to remove the links. Please NEVER post a possible phishing email with links — that just increases the chances of spreading the infection.

Please see this thread and you will note that the email you received IS in the sample set.
