IT'S A SCAM.
It's called 'Phishing'. They fish for your info.
If you respond (DON'T!!) you will get another e-mail with a semi-plausible reason why you should send them more information such as bank account info.They may call you to tell you that they need to process something (an order, a lottery win, a transaction) through your bank acount (£10,000, £100,000, £1,000,000, £100,000,000) that could pay you some money (2-10%) but that you will have to pay money (taxes, insurance, freight, etc) to release the money.
They will either take your money and then, realising that you are a patsy, they will ask for more and more, or they will simply clean out your bank account and you will have helped them!
I suggest that you watch the series; "The Real Hustle"
or BBC WatchDog to keep up to date.

This will be a scam. Report the e-mail as spam and delete it then forget about it!
