What an amateurish phishing attempt.
"your acount has been accesed by a third part!"
And what about the first and second part? You should probably start panicking if your account was accessed by a fourth part. The "part" that "accesed" your account was most likely the only active braincell of this brain dead scammer.
"... just to make sure that your password has not been changed."
Yeah and put your hand through the fence, just to make sure the dog doesn't bite.

Do you really think a bank will physically delete the bank account of a customer who failed to 'activate' his/her bank account, especially if there is still a balance left on the account? This e-mail looks more like an internal memo than anything else. No financial institution will send junk like this to their clients.
