Greetings,
An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the
action to be taken against your account.
If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can,
and will be suspended/closed/or terminated. In order to keep this from occurring,
you should immediately verify that you are the account.
