There have been numerous such posts recently. It is a very good chance it is a scam. Check the info below for steps to help identify bogus emails.

Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
