This is a scam or a money laundering scheme.
Stay FAR FAR FAR away.
If the checks are real it is money laundering. If the checks are frauds then it is a con.

This is a scam. The letter says to cash the check and then mail it less a few hundred for your trouble to another country. You use a cashier's check, they get the cash and disappear. You who are not a evil person though will not disappear and will be on he hook for the money.
These guys can explain it better:

Sounds like someone want you to wash their money for them. Tell them you will do it for 50% commision and see what they say.

The checks most likely aren't real and you will end up loosing money. Don't do it.
