Check the URL of the sender to make sure the sender's email is legitimately Apple's. There may be emails around that masquerade as Apple invitations to download the update, but in fact may download some malicious software. Don't click on any links until you are sure they are benign.

I received one of these messages, and I trashed it without responding, to be on the safe side.
