It's hard to read the letter but the gist seems to be that you cash the check then take $1,500 of it to buy gift cards. Take a picture of the front and back of the card and email the photos to someone.
Whoever you sent the photos to will use the numbers to extract the $1,500 from the gift cards. The cards in your hand will be worthless.
Chances are the check will turn out to be fraudulent and your bank will ask for the $1,500 back plus penalties.
$400 for simply buying gift cards??? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
