Here are your big red flags:
The English is terrible. Bad grammar isn't a crime, but seems to be an affliction common to these criminals.
"accept payments using your BANK ACCOUNT" and "resend money VIA WESTERN UNION"... Yup, run away. Run away fast. (p.s. I didn't put theose words in all-caps. They did. It's as if they were trying to point out their red flags for me.)

You may get a copy at your primary address, toss this away, don't reply, and understand that there's nothing you can really do about it except warn others not to fall for it.
