The link in the email does not go to invoice.sage.co.uk at all, but loads a page from:
[donotclick]anphucconduit.com/cslxpnzwzg/jnxxblpzjn.html

which in turn executes the following scripts:
[donotclick]lager.leadhoster.com/jflguwjgdk/rqkypcjgqt.js
[donotclick]northinc.com/mlfbxurfhn/pctxizxtfd.js
[donotclick]www.drhousesrl.it/lpwfszqqjt/gttigxxhme.js
[donotclick]mariatome.myartsonline.com/ykfmbdqqrm/jgawguxmub.js

those scripts attempt to download a malicious .ZIP file from the following locations:
[donotclick]cartadegintonics.com/js/jquery/invoice_090914.zip
[donotclick]anpilainate.org/bin/invoice_090914.zip
[donotclick]raggiottoimpianti.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/invoice_090914.zip
[donotclick]importedjewelryoutlet.com/include/invoice_090914.zip


You would have expected an exploit kit after all this hard work, but not.. it's a plain old ZIP (invoice_090914.zip) file containing a malicious executable invoice_090914.scr which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 8/55.

The ThreatTrack report [pdf] and Anubis report show that the malware attempts to make a connection to:
vaderhopland.be/js/9k1.cl
95.141.37.158/0909uk1/NODE01/0/51-SP3/0/
