This is definitely a scam. I received the letter with the "cashiers check" and was suspicious. I did some research and found some similar examples of the scam. Apparantley you are supposed to cash the check at your bank (mine was for $2,880) then wire $2,500 to Canada. You get to keep $300 for your troubles and there is an $80.00 service fee. This is your "training" assignment, then you will be a secret shopper and receive various assignments...free money!!!! The problem is the check is a fake. Once you cash the check you have 48 hours to wire the money. So you wire the $2500 dollars before your bank realizes it's a fake. Since the check doesn't clear you are responsible for the money, but since you have already wired the $2,500...you're basically screwed.
