Its a phishing email from the looks of it. And from the looks of it, a poorly done one based on the google reply email and web address. Likely a template gone wrong or some other dumb mistake. Do you know how to check email headers? You can look to see where it came from. While that can be masked, I doubt the sender is skilled enough to do that.

I say ignore it. Point of such a phishing attempt here would be to freak you out and get you to do something stupid. So ignoring it is the smart thing.
