This is funny
I find these emails funny because they are so business-like. They clearly have no idea who they are emailing because they list several occupations in the opening lines. No personal greetings or any real closing salutation aside from the Illuminati.
The biggest laugh I get is when the email address. I highly doubt the Illuminati would use a free email service. I’m not saying Hotmail isn’t a great service but come on. you’d think if they are such a large secret society they’d have some other email address.
It turns out the Hotmail address is real according to cleantalk’s email checker.

I did some checking
It seems the emailer is associated with a Romanian aero tech company. I assume the info must be publicly available so the scammers probably copied their name and company email address and edited it to add the sender’s name.
What’s the point of this email?
I don’t know exactly if this would be a phishing scam or some other type of identity theft or money scam.
I didn’t want to find out by emailing the address back.
All I can say is be careful and don’t fall for this scam.
