Is this a scam??

Hey guys - I just got the following email from a random Turkish email address forwarded by domainsbyproxy:

Dear Sir,
The Communications Presidency is one of the main departments in the Telecommunications Authority who is
the regulator of the Turkish telecommunications sector. The Presidency undertakes important roles in tackling
the illegal content on the internet which is restricted to 9 crimes primarily the child pornography and
the drug abuse, The Presidency conducts its activities in accordance with the Law No 5651, dated 4 May 2007,
which came into force on 23 May 2007. The crimes in the scope of this Law are as follows:
*Sexual harassment of children (Article 103, paragraph 1),
*Obscenity (Article 226),
*Prostitution (Article 227),
*To ease the usage of drugs (Article 190),
*Supplying drugs which are dangerous for health (Article 194),
*Provocation for committing suicide (Article 84),
*To provide place and opportunity for gambling (Article 228), bet and
*Crimes mentioned in the Law on Crimes Against Atat?rk.

The main method of the implementation of the aforementioned Law and the related regulations is the notice
and takedown method since the main aim of these regulations is to have the content provider to remove
the illegal content, but not to deny access to the whole website. In this respect, we have received reports
about the content on the URL(s)listed at the end of this email/document Since such internet content is prohibited
in Turkey, we kindly request you to remove this content or to BLOCK the access to this content from Turkey.
We look forward to your assistance in fulfilling our duties with respect to the requirements of the aforementioned Law.
It will be highly appreciated if you could return back in one week time.
Kind regards,

?nternet Regulations Department
Communications Presidency
Information and Communication Technologies Authority

*insert my URL here*

Now, all of the content on my site is promotional content legally obtained. There is no CP or drug use or anything like that... should I do anything about this? Thanks...
