It is called Spear Phishing meaning targeted. They get just enough information to entice you click on the included links or reply to the email. Besides compromised computers, you have to assume that in this day and age ALL unsecured traffic is monitored by robots collecting names, emails, anything that could be used to gain your confidence or arouse your curiosity enough to make the click or reply.
