No, it says "...notify us by replying to this message and deleting it from
your computer..."
That says you have to do two things to notify them: reply and delete,
which is nonsense.
What they *mean* is almost certainly "Please notify us by replying to this
message, and delete it from your computer..."
That's two different actions: notifying and deleting, which is logical.
