No.
a) everything sounds fishy in that letter. Especially "Would that be acceptable to you".
I have my doubts the city of ottawa is in the market for a used laptop. Most companies/organizations have preferred vendors, not kijiji...
b) Anything past a couple hundred bucks is wire transfer or email interac only. I've seen enough counterfeit cash around Calgary. Cheques are easy to forge, as are bank drafts/money orders. The only way I'd take one is with Ice's method.
