Hi Jack, I have mixed thoughts on this one. The FTP address is assigned to a 
Slovakia server but the contact name is different to the name in the e-mail. 
Please see the following look- information on the address:

Secondly nobody in their right mind would pass an FTP account login details 
in an open e-mail. The server could be hacked very quickly with this 
information. The server is also running a program called Team Viewer which 
is used to take remote control of another computer via the Internet. IT 
support companies use this all the time to support customers in remote 
locations.

I would treat it with caution and simply delete it without giving it too 
much regard.

Kindest Regards

Tom
