It looked so kosher that I nearly clicked to reply, but then I hesitated, and finally I assumed that the challenge was a fishing device for my email address and didn't I didn't reply, and marked it as spam to Cloudmark. I note that Cloudmark then automatically marked other similar messages as spam, so I conclude that many other people have also come to the same conclusion and marked it as such. It MAY be well-intentioned, but I think it has already backfired on the sender.
