It's spam. Treat it as such.
The reason for our contacting you is that we have a number of domains relevant to our business operation that have been registered under the ".z" domain extension. As this extension is an alternative extension, and not recognised by the A-Root Server, we are writing to ask that you adjust your name servers and resolvers to allow New Zealand internet users access to this extension.
"..and, in return, we'll give you a cut of all the *.z registration fees." Oh, wait, no, it doesn't actually say that, does it?
We have chosen to operate domains under the ".z" extension in support of our belief that the internet should be not be controlled by one governing body,
"..that isn't us..."
and that individuals should be free to choose any extension that suits their operation and/or operate their own extensions, provided
"...we get paid, and .."
those extensions do not legally interfere with the operation of extensions operated by other individuals or organisations. We hope you accept our view and will support us in our operation by changing your servers accordingly allowing us to operate our domains, and New Zealand internet users the ability to access our domains.
"...In exchange for which, we'll give you a cut, as mentioned above." Oh, wait, no, again that's missing. If the guy wants to make a buck (which he clearly does) then he should cut in people on the profits, not appeal so some kind of sense of moral outrage at current control systems.
