If you didn't log in anywhere, you are most likely okay. You may want to change your password and consider using 2 Factor Authentication or 2 Step Verification.

Scam. Don't open the attachment. Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you.
