CSRF Basics

[hellkyng () gmail com]

I am looking for a bit of help with an attempted CSRF attack. The CSRF attack was sent via link in an email and is 
contained below. It doesn't appear to be all that effective, am I missing something? Is this a common attack against a 
well known vulnerability? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, the purpose of this "attack" has me a bit 
stumped. Thanks!
