Now this email revolves around the attachment as you can see - there is only one link pointing to: mail.bacsinfo.co.uk which actually forwards you to a warning about the BACS message after (presumably) noting your email address, so don't click on it.
The attachment requires editing to enable it's macros:
The macros were password protected and that was as far as we were interested in exploring this.
Obviously report the sender as a source of spam and the bacsinfo.co.uk domain as a bad website.
