Received the same email Steve...
Firstly I am not in the UK
Secondly the author can't spell or comprehensively construct a sentence in English.
When you click on the given web address you are diverted to 'susdungo.lv'
Is obviously a webforgery by person/persons with English as 2nd language, designed to trick people into revealing personal or financial information by imitating a source you may trust.
Any information entered on this web page may result in identity theft or other fraud.
