Providing an explicit choice is rarely a good idea.
They just want to contact you somehow, they don't want to click mailto: and then have to configure their browser or something.
A solution might be to provide a contact form, but in the header of the form also note that it will send email to [email protected]. Make the email address a link, and savvy users will know to click on it.
