It is a typical facebook phishing email that reads:

Subject: 1 of Friends Awaiting Your Response

When you log into the fake Facebook page provided in the email, you are giving the scammers your user name and password. Recently there have been a surge of reports of Facebook “friends” asking someone for money because they have been robbed and are stuck in London. These types of emails are how the scammers get your login info, log into your Facebook account and then masquerade as you.
If you logged into Facebook using the link provided by the email, change your password immediately or contact Facebook at info@facebook.com if you are suddenly unable to log in as the scammers will have changed your password to prevent you from interfering with their scam.
