This email is a standard scammers attempt to get people to open an attached EXCEL file. The attached file is usually WORD or EXCEL or a PDF as these files can contain macros and are often used by scammers to load viruses or other malware onto unsuspecting people’s devices. You open the attachment and your computer is then infected.

This scammer strings together groups of words that may sound sensible to another idiot but not to anyone else.

e.g. “In accordance with Article 5.1 of the Bylaws of the Associations, a copy of the audited financial statements for the year ended, 2017 is provide for your information”.

 “Compare your records with financial statements attached, complete and fax it to our auditors”.

The email is from Alison.Walsh @DeloitteUK.com which I assume is an attempt to make people believe it’s from Deloittes, the famous Accountants, which of course it isn’t.
