Default Recieved sone Email Marketing, Real or Spam?

I got the following email today to an address that reaches all admins on my site. Google (Who manage my emails) marked it as Spam, and normally there is a 50% chance of the spam being normal mail. I cant figure out if its legit or not. I don't intend on replying however...
