This is the chunk I'd be worried about:

Attached to this message is the purchase Invoice and the airplane ticket.
To use your ticket, simply print it on a color printed, and you are set to
take off for the journey!"
Clearly, that isn't even proper English. In reality, they are trying to get you to open the attachment, which contains at least one Trojan Horse.

I'd delete it, then purge it from the server.

Here is the Google ref on it:

When in doubt, just grab a few of the middle words of one of these, wrap quotes around them, and stick them in to Google. The top results will usually tell you exactly what is going on.
