As someone who's read a lot of ransomware ransom notes, it sounds very similar to all the ones I've read and looks likely to be legit. It's often exactly in this form, with a text or Word file named something like "read_me_unlock.txt" as it's named here, and text similar to this. They're trying to get the attention of whoever happens to see the mysterious file, and they often use that kind of extravagant tone with a lot of exclamation points. The goal is to extort as much money as possible and they think this is the best scare tactic to achieve it. Ransomers also may not necessarily be the smartest, oldest, or most educated people. I'd be extremely surprised if it was somehow fake, given the company posted it all themselves.
