This is a more sophisticated phishing attempt, because this person owns a Ledger wallet and he ordered the wallet with the email address in the phishing email that was send to him. (Note : Not the one I edited in the email below that he send to me)
Please be careful and do not click on any links in these kinds of emails. (Always go to the manufacturers official website and download software from their site)

==============================================================================================
Dear client,
We regret to inform you that Ledger has experienced a security breach affecting approximately 86,000 of our customers and that the wallet associated with your e-mail address ([email protected]) is within those affected by the breach.
Namely, on Wednesday, October 28th 2020, our forensics team has found several of the Ledger Live administrative servers to be infected with malware.
At this moment, it's technically impossible to conclusively assess the severity and the scope of the data breach. Due to these circumstances, we must assume that your cryptocurrency assets are at risk of being stolen.
If you're receiving this e-mail, it's because you've been affected by the breach. In order to protect your assets, please download the latest version of Ledger Live and follow the instructions to set up a new PIN for your wallet.
Sincerly,
Ledger
