Update. I called the number provided in this email and was told that
ExxonMobil is not handling their own matching gifts and that I should email
them directly. The email address provided was
ExxonMobil.foundation@exxonmobil.com. I have sent an email and will advise
once I have a response.
FYIL The person I talked to said that it did sound like a legitimate email
but she could not be certain.
