I take it you checked the email address to make sure it was a legitimate address for Apple. If you can't access the account, due to the security questions, it makes me question the validity of the email completely.
The validity of the email is NOT in question. I brought up the source view for the email and everything pointed to an Apple.com domain. After I reset my password and signed in, I saw that same device connected to my iCloud account. I also provided a screen shot of the email to Apple support. They didn't blink an eye.
There just comes a point that you need to provide additional verification to accomplish some actions (like deleting the account).
