From the email you've provided, it does look legitimate. However, do note that there is the possibility of that email being "hijacked" from it's rightful owner, so when submitting your info, do verify the URL of the website your are submitting on.

I was tempted to reply to the email asking me to update my web info from worldsbiggest.org. As you say it looks like the real thing, but I am now going to ignore and delete. You do a great service to those of us more inexperiencedin the phishing world. I thank you, Blanche Hello Shaun,

I remembered telling my parents (who only a few years ago recently only learnt how to use the net) of all of these dangers as well. yup, I there will sure to be one or two who are “new” to the net and are not experienced enough to see through these messages.
