Product: Debt collection

I received this email from XXXX. At first glance, I thought it may actually be legit, but then noticed all the ridiculous grammatical errors. Additionally, I finally realized they didnt even use my name in the header. I am working to settle some outstanding debts, which is why I thought it could be real at first. However, looking through my records, I dont owe anyone this particular amount.

I DID respond to the email to request more information about the original lender, but they did not respond. Hoping to clarify that it is indeed fake.
