1.) "webmasterr", with 2 r's.
2.) Multiple grammatical errors.
3.) Mid-message font change for no reason.
4.) The link goes to "123contactform.com". Haaahahahahaha
This has to be some sort of joke. Maybe a psych student's research
project.

I didn't examine the mail headers, but considering the fact that it links to http://www.123contactform.com/contact-form-Stoneq-146519.html , I'd say both.
Their fake https URL is even missing a forward slash. Amateurs.

Although the average of two spelling and grammatical errors per
sentence, the misspelled (and suspiciously generic) e-mail address,
the glaringly obviously typo in the URL, and the fact that the e-mail
was sent over the LUG mailing list (but not to my mail account) was
pretty damning...
I also cracked open the e-mail source code (yay for UCLA's mail system
which lets you do that) which shows that the innocent-looking
hyperlink actually links to an address at 123contactform.
Also, if I'm reading the message path correctly, the e-mail appears to
have originated from Chile... O_o
"Pardon me my friend, but I am the UCLA webmaster. Please ignore the
fact that I can't spell 'webmaster'. Or link to the UCLA website."

As Red vs Blue would have put it:
"Pardon me my friend, but I am the UCLA webmaster. And I need you to
follow this hyperlink. Please ignore the fact that I can't spell
'webmaster'. Or write a link to the UCLA website."
