Hi Beth,

The California Association of Museums had a session on Museum Ethics at their annual conference this last February.  One of the speakers for this session was Hoyt Fields the Director of Hearst Castle.  They have dealt with the legitimate lawyers for the Oppenheimer family.  You should contact him and get his opinion of the email, but just from reading it, it doesn't look very legitimate.

Good Luck,
Julie
