If you think it was meant for the co-worker but the co-worker wasn’t in the To or CC list, i.e. it was only sent to you, then you should reply back that you think you may have received the email below from them accidentally rather than the intended recipient.

If you don’t respond at all they might think the co-worker already received it which could be a problem for you if it ends up not being acted upon.

If you respond to the actual content of the email it’s like you opened someone else’s mail and read it purposely.
