I have no Idea what my AIM screen name has to do with my EMail address, I used my old AOL screen name. Is this someone trying to steal my email account? It comes from an unknown sender

Uhh isnt he trying to hijack your aim? Uhh... isn't he trying to change the contact email address, so if you dont reply to this email, they will change the contact email to the new one. Then he can ask for the password to be sent to the new email contact address?
