Any kind of airdrop that's asking for your private key is pretty much trying to steal your coins. Airdrops should only require a wallet address and signed message verification[1] for you to prove ownership of an address.

Never EVER give away your private keys.

if some one ask for your private key never ever give that. most probably it must be scam attempt.
especially when you got it from an email.

well you have to keep your personal combo and never to give it to anyone, if you follow the airdrop and ask for your private key try not to follow it because it could have an impact on your coin that will disappear

Yes.Private Keys are meant to be private.

Private key is actually a code that is paired with a public key for text decryption and encryption and is a secret number that allow coins to be spend.Because giving your private keys allows someone to take your bitcoins and spend.It is important for you not to give your private keys to anyone and to write them down on paper in case of computer crashes .
