Mountain Goat- Thank you for the welcome and for your speedy reply 
I had only found one association linking the name to a Middle East financial scam so thanks for confirming my suspicions.
As a corollary, I also contacted Holiday Lettings. Initially they said that there was nothing unusual about the email, however in a second email today someone else from HL confirmed that it was a scam and that they will be blocking any further emails from the account.
Thanks again
