A person at my work receives a lot of these along with other scam emails.
Most of them will be an email claiming to have a purchase order or invoice attached. Others include bank scams, paypal, telstra and ebay which can look very legit.
Sometimes there will be a "court documents" email scam which this person fell for and unleashed a crypto virus on their computer. She had a court case at the time so that is why she opened it.

Most of the time the email with have a .zip or .js attached which contain the virus.

Luckily the virus she opened didn't go through the server and I was able to restore a backup, otherwise all her files would have been toast!
