Got an email from Beckett/BGS Grading - legit?

[prospectorgems]

I took a screenshot of the email cause it isn't formatted properly to be pasted. The reason I ask if it is legit or not is because of the way it is presented. It seems to me that there is some broken English and that it wasn't really sent from the United States. It states along the bottom to call the number and "look" for Jade. How do I look for anyone while on the phone? This email does not seem professional at all and appears to be rather fishy. Anyone else?

Seems a little fishy.

100% legit and yes, the wording needs some work. This special is being sent out to various people and is totally legit.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

Thats pretty bogus IMO

That IS Beckett's CS number, so it doesn't hurt to call it.

I have received similar offers in the past (legit)....those specials are not widely advertised.

It's legitimate.

 

[prospectorgems]

Ok, thanks all. I feel more assured now.

It's legitimate.

Yes, it is legit. I was on the phone to Beckett the week of the snowstorm in Dallas, and one of the agents mentioned this deal to me and I accepted and paid for the voucher right away. You can submit as many cards you want at the service levels offered, (add $1 for each auto card) and the $50 voucher will be deducted from the balance due on the invoice.

Here are scans of the paperwork that Beckett sent me:
