Dear {yourhost} Member,

Your e-mail account was used to send a huge amount of unsolicited spam
messages during the recent week. If you could please take 5-10 minutes
out of your online experience and confirm the attached document so you
will not run into any future problems with the online service.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to
cancel your membership.

Virtually yours,
The {yourhost} Support Team
