Anyone else received a badly written Covid vaccination reminder?

I’m assuming it’s genuine as it’s from the correct address? But it does look suspect. Anyone else?

Wow that does look suspicious! Did you make an appointment for that time and date?

Does the reminder ask you to do anything eg click on a link?

If not then I would assume that it is genuine but whoever wrote it had just had a rough night

Why do you suspect something sinister? If it's a reminder, then you must already know if the appointment is legit or not. I would just assume someone who sent a message made typo.

Yes - I have one today - although I thought it was at a different time. That could be my mistake though I guess. Date and location are correct.
No link so I assume it’s ok and just human errors?

I’m not hugely suspicious of it. I was surprised that it had so many errors in the main text bit though. I’d have thought most of the text wasn’t editable.

If I didn't have an app, I might wonder what's the purpose of this, may even feel uneasy. But if I did have an app, I wouldn't. What can they do to you for sending app reminder if you didn't have one? Worst thing they can do is waste your time if you turned up.

I might have missed it but I couldn't see any address on your screenshot other than the NHS-NoReply bit at the top.

9/10 if it says a certain name then it is from that name but it isn't hard to spoof so it could say a certain name but be from someone else.

I just re-read my post above and the second bit reads like goobledogook.
