It is an undoubted fake: See these support resources:

Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email

Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store

Phishing and Other Suspicious Emails

The last one includes information on forwarding the original message with headers to Apple at reportphishing@apple.com which, one hopes, they might use to take down fraudulent websites.

As a point of principle never use a link in an email to access any website where you sign in. Use existing bookmarks or the address bar in your browser instead.

The "click here" link in your post redirects via bi.ly to something other that an apple.com website - Chrome stopped me with a warning rather than take me there.
