Very Nice. Let’s see what really happens in the email. It is send from a host in Brazil sc.gov.br which seems to be a portal. Did not want a lot of personal data because I suppose they will ask for later when you will send mails claiming the donation. So far NO connection with Facebook. Be aware of this and other kind of scams 
Below is the complete source of the email. If you want to see the source of a message in Thunderbird you should go to View – Headers – and enable ALL. If you are using Outlook go to View- Message Header and click on it.
