Any chance it is not a SCAM?     Did they have access to my old btc-e account ?

Thanks and beware!!
This is obviously a scam. They just randomly send emails and hopes that one person would fall for the scam. If you had funds in their exchange, why would you need to send anything to them to recover your money? All you have to do is send them your BTC address and they will send your coins back. Don't send them anything. Or they could just send you your money minus the "donation" (scam) fee.

Lol. Couldn't be more obvious.
