Einstein autograph - real or fake?

Hello. Can this autograph be original? I have the opportunity to buy it, but I am not able to determine whether it is an original or fake.

It looks like the autograph is on cardstock of some sort; not letter-weight paper that you'd expect to see with a signed salutation (it translates to Sincerely Yours, A. Einstein). I'm not an Einstein expert, but even though his signature looks like it probably is real to me, I don't think that authenticity can be reasonably assured without seeing it in person.

A genuine piece like that sells for roughly $2,500 these days in the US. If it's being offered at a bargain price that's a big warning sign.
