The e-mail itself appears to be pretty plain with just some congratulation text and then asking for guild name, guild leaders full name and battle.net address as well as that info from the 9 other e-mails.
The items in bold are the specific things to look for in the header that verify it is from blizzard.

What do I do if I'm still concerned it could be phishing?
Q u o t e:
If you are still concerned about it being a phishing attempt, then what you will want to do is copy the body of the email into a brand new email with the information provided. Then you will want to enter in the email address of [email protected] to ensure its going to Blizzard. In the event that it originally was a phishing attempt, this will at least guarantee that it does go to Blizzard.
Do all 10 emails need to be submitted at once or can we send them in as we get them?

Q u o t e:
You will need to provide all Battle.net account email addresses at once.
How long will it take to get the beta keys activated on the accounts?

Q u o t e:
I would say about 2 weeks or so, maybe sooner. All winners will be added to the Beta in the order they are received.
Since we know we are getting the beta keys, is there a way to safely download the beta client and have it preloaded before we actually get it?

Q u o t e:
The only way to install the beta client is from your account management page. It will appear under “Your Game Accounts” section as World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm Beta when flagged. When you see that you’ll be able to click on it and continue to download it.
Have all 500 winners been notified?

Hiya Hands,
Q u o t e:
Have all of the 500 winners of the contest been contacted already?
Yes, all winners have been contacted.
Will we receive an e-mail notifying us that our beta accounts have been activated?

Q u o t e:
From what I was told, it will appear under “Your Game Accounts” section as World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm Beta when flagged, without notification.
