Now You Can Withdraw Funds From Your PayPal Account
Dear [name removed]
You're now able to withdraw money from your PayPal account! That means greater control to manage your PayPal funds. All you need to do is request a check from PayPal.
How to Request a Check
1. Log in to your PayPal account
2. Click the Withdraw sub tab
3. Click the Request a Check from PayPal link
We'll process and mail your check within 4-6 business days. The actual delivery time will depend on your country's local postal service. Once you receive and deposit the check, your funds will be available as soon as it clears with your bank.*
PayPal Checks are Safe
PayPal checks are safe and can only be deposited into your bank account. In order for the transaction to run smoothly, you must make sure the name on your PayPal account is the same as the name on your bank account. If you need to change the name on your PayPal account to match the name on your bank account, log in to your PayPal account and submit a request through our secure webform.
At PayPal, we're striving to make your experience as smooth and convenient as possible. Take advantage of this new feature today!
Sincerely,
PayPal
*Checks will be issued only in US dollars. Please check with your local bank for any deposit and/or foreign exchange fees that may apply. The minimum withdrawal limit is $150.00 USD.
Why would anyone request a check if they can just have it direct deposited?

First, they included the customer's name. Phishing scams almost never do that. They almost always say "Paypal Customer" or "Valued Customer" or something generic.
Second, this sounds like a non-US account. I think we already have that option in the US. This could be new for worldwide customers.
Third, it's not asking for the customer to click through and enter a myriad of information.
