I received one this morning.
I did not recognise the sender.
I deleted it.
If I think these _might_ be genuine, I normally check the routing
information within he mail header. Usually there's some mismatch in
IPs/hostnames/etc..

Hi all
I received a suspicious email today, purporting to come from Covance
(a web search showed Covance to be an apparently genuine organisation
doing contract clinical research on drug development and animal
testing). The text of the email was:
"Purchase Order, 11300 / 0002323808, has been Dispatched. Please
detach and print the attached Purchase Order."
The attachment was a .tgz file containing a 6.2kB javascript file - a
method of attack which I haven't seen before. Needless to report that
I didn't attempt to run said javascript file! Has anyone else come
across this method of attack?
