The key line is this:
"We will send the products ordered to you and you will distribute among the customers in the United Kingdom"
The rest of the job description is bluster to make the job sound legitimate.
It's a classic "repackaging" scam.
Effectively, your address will be used as a "dead drop" for scammers buying electronic goods on stolen credit cards. They'll be delivered to you and you'll then "repackage" them and send them on to other addresses.
It won't be long before Mr Plod comes knocking at your door and you'll have to answer some VERY uncomfortable questions.

... why did they contacted me.
These type of spam/scam emails are sent out in there thousands on a daily basis.
Don't take it personally... simply click delete (and enhance your Spam filter for future reference)“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0
