Is this for real?

Merry Greetings to all,

I received the message below today.  I'm not sure what they propose, but
I'm fairly sure it can't be for real.

Does anyone have any ideas what exactly they are selling.  Is it worth it?
I don't like the idea of our business name being attached to a shady
undertaking.

Sue

>I am the US Representative for a British Title Research company based in

>Authenticity on aged parchment and a goldswept ornamental frame to those

>Should we close a sale on a referral directly attributed to your company, the

>As these can be quite expensive, we also provide Titles  (Sir Lord Lady Baron
