I'm not even a Community Manager anymore ;)
This email actually doesn't scare me very much, else I'd have never posted it publicly. It was an obvious piece of spam and had nothing personal. I've received far freakier things than this.
Once upon a time, I had a stalker that would call my (unlisted) cell phone every morning when I'd walk into work and leave for the evening. They could watch me come in and out of the office because of the streaming office cam. There were even more extreme things my old stalker did and I certainly had the SFPD involved as well as making reports to the FBI (which did nothing honestly, but I wanted to dot my i's and cross my t's).
I'm not worried about reporting it, the headers scream "spam mail." But if you hear about a sudden gun death of a SF woman in tech, I must've been wrong ;)

Long drawn out ones absolutely are. That's why I say one to two sentences tops, that is more of the answer to the question: "So what does your company do?" I've been asked that question at tech events/conferences/social functions more times than I could care to count and I've asked the question (with sincerity) just as many times.
