This high volume phish has clear phishing signs. The subject is to create a false sense of urgency which is a common tactic used by phishers to lure the users. It has a weird and fake sender name and address. No salutation (means it’s a mass send email). The link given is external which will not be the case if it were to be legit.

Although, this email is visibly phishy but it becomes an issue if there is a coincidence, for example someone was actually facing email issues and gets this email, they might correlate. Hence, it is always best practice to think and look for phishing signs and never be in a hurry. If in doubt, confirm with helpdesk or your DSS.
