As I in my profession trade and broker domain names, I hope that I can help you out with this question.
There have been many good replies to the original question, such as the fact that the risk of running into legal problems by responding to the email is next to zero.
As the domain has your last name and you have not plastered it with ads for similar products as the company wanting buy the domain from you, there is no risk for being judged as using the domain in bad faith.
When it comes to which price level you should set you can get some input on domain sales overall from the sales lists at dnjournal.com. Of course, the highest sales are recorded there, but it gives you an insight on what the most valuable names are and what people are ready to pay for quality domain names.
Once you have agreed on a price I would strongly advise you to use an escrow service to make sure that you get your money.
If you would like more info feel free to post your questions here or to martin at namedrive dot com.
