looks like a standered letter to someone they "think" is downloading on network. i would ignore it. but it is your letter. The RIAA\MPAA send out thousands of letters a month just like that to ISP's to send to users. The ISP's have to do it, its eather the letter or cut off the user. i prefer the letter.
