Brill, thank you all. And thank you @Flossy ๐ง๐ง for the link. I normally delete the emails but this one had me almost in stitches. But yes will report.
I've had the same one as you a couple of times and a few more explicit ones. Never had anything happen - I just forward them and delete them and also block the email address.
This is a scam. There is no way that any of this can actually happen without physical access. I have had several over the past 20 years and always smile at the ingenuity of these people. What they have discovered is your email address. That is all. Everything else is trying to generate fear.
Report it to Action Fraud and state that this is 'Attempted Blackmail', which is a criminal activity.

@Pinkaholic79 ๐๐ฆ๐บ I agree with the previous comments. You must report it - I use report@phishing.gov.uk and send them all the dodgy emails I get.
