I received the same email over the weekend, and from analyzing its headers, and using compartmentalized email addresses, it appears that whoever sent this got my individualized email address from a FL Department of Corporations filing. There may have been a leak from there (or it was an inside harvesting job).

Perhaps as a Florida resident, you have in the past filed something with the same guys and were harvested the same way.

Just guessing...
