This generous proposal sounds very suspicious to me, as LB is notorious for always trying to lower the rates and not the other way around. Have you try to give a call to LB offices to get some more information on this project?

Try replying to the email you received asking for the phone number of whoever send you the email, or asking his/her full name and job title and then call the switchboard on the company's official published phone number and ask for that person?
