I received quite a few of these, and, well, it’s basically a scam. There is no need to register these Chinese domains. Here is a copy of the email:

Dear Sir/Mad
On 24th Oct.Lovix Co. Ltd sent us an application ,they trying to register xxxxxxxx as domain names and use it to promote them in Google and Baidu. But after auditing we found this name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar , it is our duty to notice you . We only can keep the domain names safe in our auditing time , once over this period , we should accept their registration , So, please ask your It manager or responsible person to contact me as soon as possible .
I’m looking forward to hearing from you .
Yours sincerely Tony
