Points to consider:

• The message did originate from LinkedIn‘s servers. (LinkedIn, for those of you who don’t know, is basically a social network intended to be used for corporate networking—i.e., getting hired or finding somebody to hire.)
• I don’t have an account on LinkedIn.
• So he must know my email address, in which case, why not email me directly?
• This person seems to know that I work with Cocoa.
• But didn’t notice that I’m a Cocoa programmer.
• Much of the language reads like a Nigerian 419 letter (e.g., “We are looking for a trustworthy representative in the United State that will aid as a link between us and our customers in US for getting and remitting our payments.”).
• OTOH, nothing about deposed rulers or millions of dollars.

I still can’t tell whether this is spam. :\
