Smells like a scam...Bin it.
My first impression also was that it was a scam and a very poor one, the letter was unsealed eg open and he wanted a written reply or email yet no self adressed evelope enclosed , email adress is Philke.flitcroft@nzx.com. Don't intend to reply , if it is not a scam they can ask in a more polite manner
Why doesn't someone call the NZX and ask, let them know there is a potential scam.......
Looks genuine to me. Came in an envelope with a seemingly authentic NZX logo printed on it and with printed sender details corresponding to Link Market Services. Email given was philke.flitcroft@nzx.com.
Didn't seek my FIN number, without which mischief shouldn't be possible(?).
I buy/sell through a Direct Broking internet account in my name, and the shares are registered in my name.
My company which holds NZX shares under the company name received one of those letters too. I'm confident it's genuine but if they want that info they can get it from the Companies Office.
I emailed advising them that the address they sent the correspondence to was obviously the correct address and why did they need to know age etc and this is the response I received:
"Thank you for your response. Unfortunately the letters were sent to our end shareholders in error, please disregard."
