get e:mails like this all the time , but its the ones from the bank that piss me off because how do the know u have an account with that bank ,, someone must be selling your e:mail address ,

it looks genuine enough to me.

you dont actually have a paypal username, it's just your email and password to sign in.

and it dosn't look like they have provided any dodgy links to follow, it just tells you to go to the site.
