Is this some kind of scam, phishing, or just email harvesting? Never seen one of these before.

(to prevent A.B.U.S.E.)

Hi

I have some information that I'd like to send to you. However, before doing so I need to verify that this is your email address and make sure that it is okay with
you that I send the information.

There are a lot of people who don't bother to
do this, but your privacy and personal email address are important. By sending you this verification email first, you are protected from email abuse.

I want to confirm with you that it is okay to send you this information. Of course, you will always be able to block your email address from receiving additional mail
from me at anytime - there is a link included at the bottom of every email I send out allowing you to do just that, after this initial mailing.

Is this your email address - [email protected]

I verify all email addresses this way to prevent email
abuse complaints. This is a one time verification emailing. If you do not verify your email address, I will not be able to contact you!

This is simply a verification letter designed to prevent ABUSE. You must verify your address to receive additional information. If you do nothing, your address will expire
from our verification system.

TO VERIFY THIS IS YOUR EMAIL AND THAT YOU AGREE FOR US TO FORWARD YOU INFORMATION, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL!

If you do not click the link, you will not hear from my company again.

Thank you

Trish

I think this is probably some form of Email harvesting check, although the address/postcode at the bottom is a genuine one (but no house number and no real name for the addressee)
