Phishing/Spam Emails | Spam Email Type - I

I am working for Reader's Digest as Strongmail Administrator and Email Marketing Manager. And learning tid-bits of it. There are a lot of things which are old to me but they have a new meaning now. Spam mails are one of them. Earlier I used to just delete them then slowly learned to mark them as "Spam" and now i start taking stress when i see something even remotely connected to this word. Today i received this spam email and I was tempted to open it for once as it was from RBI - Reserver Banks of India. Cool!! Below is the sample of email I received. Have you receved it yet?
