Yes this is a template used by mediawiki from Special:PasswordReset,
and exactly this template, plain text is used on production of
wikimedia servers. Unless you can't retrieve the header of original
message, it's not possible to verify if it's scam or system message.
On other hand anyone who knows the email could trigger it. In case
that OTRS is using wikimedia SUL account with OTRS email account,
anyone filling it in PasswordReset could trigger system to send you
this message. There is no protection from this so far.

Indeed, unless there are some spam links inside,
for example if it was
html mail, the reset token could be in fact a spam link leading to

reset token</a>)

That looks like the standard password reset

I may have gotten to the bottom of it - as a spam email...
The OTRS system renders emails wierdly so the actual links weren't showing.
Downloading the HMTL version shows the "cancel this message" text being a
link pointed at carewelhealth[dot]com - a site apparently running MediaWiki.
Is the mail system part of MediaWiki? That could be the origin; they're
misusing the system to spam people, in a very wierd way.
