I was wondering about that one earlier today as well. In fact, it stood out among the few hundred I waded through today because it had no links, no obvious point, was totally innocuous.
I think it may be one of those “taster” spams - designed to be as innocent as possible, to just see if it is bounced or not - to test the email account.
It might be followed by a storm of real spams when the sender notices there is no bounce.
