      I’ve not received this letter but it’s very obviously not genuine. The logo looks copied and doesn’t normally appear in the middle. It also looks like a photocopy, not newly printed, is not personally addressed and there is no name or signature to close the letter. The format of the letter is very poor and amateurish, there are grammatical errors and upper case is used throughout, instead of a combination of upper and lower case, etc, etc.

      Anybody who takes any serious notice of this letter cannot be the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
      Poor grammar and spelling that is more in keeping with someone who hasn’t completed Primary School or for whom English is not their first language.
      Certainly not at a standard that we would normally expect from any commercial company or Government organisation.
      Certainly if one received this very amateurish attempt at a scam, forwarding it directly to Scamwatch would be your first reaction.

      The letter says “there are few hackers active on it” (your network). That being the case, no need to worry and no need to keep a ‘secret’ or hand over any money!
