This is not the first time I've seen that message.  The content is
meaningless technobabble.

It is most likely a ploy to collect live email addresses, and thereby to
sell something, quite possibly gov't grant information.  If you go to
www.federalfundingprogram.com , and click on the link there, you might
find out whether that is an attempt to collect money.  I won't click on
the link for fear it might download malicious software, or collect my
default email address from my browser.  www.deutschland.de is a
legitimate portal domain operated by permission of the German government
(anything with TLD .de would almost have to be), but probably the sender
is faking any legitimate association with that domain (note the 'do not
reply...' instruction).  That domain does not appear to offer email
hosting to the public.

If you provide the full header, Keith Lynch will probably be able to
decipher it, and he might be able to readily identify the source as a
known spam source.  With as much spam as Keith gets, he might have
received that one many times already.
