Grettings! How are you?
I am Ruzaliya,
I never contacted with u before.
But I`d like to know u, and maybe develop friendly contacts in future and possibly a little more than friendship. I am looking for my second half, and my friends consider that I am so friendly and beautiful. I am a teacher in school and I like my work because I love kids. If you like my photo, and information about me, send message to me! In next letter I`ll send u more images. Also I will be happy, if I will get ur message with foto. Have a nice day Ruzaliya. Unquote
They have obviously hacked the system here to get my email address. There is also an attachment which is a photo, I haven't open that just in case it's something malicious. Can something be done about this? Thank you.

Was this an email sent to your email account?
If so, just delete and forget about it. It's called spam.
More advice on dealing with spam emails is given in the following MSE article:

(If it was received via PM, you should report the matter to abuse)"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
