Just got to look at the sender's email address to see that it's fake. Across the various email accounts i have…I probably get at least 25 emails/day of this sort of stuff.
Just ignore & delete!

I got one of these a while back and posted it in a thread. It was almost identical to this one. The three things that caught my attention almost immediately were:
1. In my case it came to an e-mail address I have never used for personal correspondence/ correspondence with Apple.
2. Numerous grammatical errors /missing words/odd phrases suggesting the sender used something like Google translate or might perhaps speak English as a second language.
3. Spelling errors - I've gotten e-mails of various kinds from Apple for the last several years. I don't think I have received a legit one yet that has had spelling/grammatical errors in it. There's a first time for everything but that one caught my attention.

I get one of those in my gmail almost every day. Sad thing is that there is not an AppleID associated with that email.
