Dear Member, Notification: You have received an OKCoin.com e-Voucher of 450 USD in your account. The e-Voucher is attached. You can top-up your OKCoin.com wallet with this voucher or pay any service where OKCoin.com accepted. *************************************************************************************************************** This is an automated email - Please do not reply.

If it were an actual voucher it would just be in plain text, or perhaps a PDF, not 7z file! I will contact OKCoin to confirm, but i highly suspect its a scam. I would advise to NOT open the zip file for risk of installing a trojan of some description.
Also, if you look at the meta data of the email it says: subject: Notification! mailed-by: server4.zmaximum.ru encryption: zmaximum.ru did not encrypt this message I'm 99.9999% sure OKCoin would not send mail through a Russian mail server.
