Dear Amazon.com Customer,
During our usual security enhancement protocol, we observed multiple login attempt error while login in to your online Amazon account.
We have believed that someone other than you is trying to access your account for security reasons,
we have temporarily suspend your account and your access to online Amazon and will be restricted if you fail to update.
Note: This doesn't even take in account that Amazon.com is using an email address of elersich@msn.com
Sent to: stop-spoofing@amazon for their follow-up.
