I recently received an email with this subject line: REQUEST FOR QUOTATION and I am concerned that it could be an attempt at defrauding me. Let me know in the comments section what you think, please.
The full contents of the suspected fraudulent (phishing / scamming) e-mail appear below:

The above email was sent by “National Department of Health <procurement@doh-gov.org.za>” from this email address: procurement@doh-gov.org.za
I, Pamela, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “National Department of Health <procurement@doh-gov.org.za>”:
Closing date of tender is 05th June 2018
Tender will be awarded on 06th June 2018
Delivery must take place on 08th June 2018
Since when does a government tender happen this fast? This seems off to me.If you hover over the email address (procurement@doh-gov.org.za) in the body of the email, it has a different email address which comes up: nonhlanhlandiweni@tourismgov.org.za
