This is similar to the lawsuit/possible scam email of a couple of months ago. The only difference is that they don't include the name of a lawsuit in the scam. It is very likely a worm or virus. Don't click.
FYI... if you were infringing one someone's work, they would use your name and more personal information that you would recognize.

To whom it may concern,
It has come to our attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my copyrighted work
in the preparation of a work derived therefrom. We have reserved all rights in the Work,
which was first published in 2008, and we have registered the copyright.
The copyrighted images which appear on your web site, are essentially identical to the Work and clearly used
the Work as its basis.
You neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work as the basis for it nor to make or
distribute copies of it. Therefore, we believe you have willfully infringed our rights under 17 USC Section 101,
et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $100,000.
I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works
derived from the Work, and all copies of it, and that you deliver to us all unused,
undistributed copies of it, or destroy such copies immediately, and that you desist from
this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If we have not received an affirmative
response from you by 10/05/2010 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements,
we will be taking the full legal remedies available to rectify this situation.
Please view the attached file for a copy of the suit documents.
Sincerely,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
