The message isn't realistic in the slightest.
I bet I know about 100 people who would still fall for this.
Why would you name an email address official?
Automatic messages would be a lot clearer.
Why does Malware never have good grammar?

Well probably they will try to convince that the email is came from the Official Facebook and the user who will convince to follow it.
