It's phishing. Apple will never threaten to permanently disable your account. Also as you noted Apple rarely makes typos.

In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.

Forward it as an attachment to reportphishing@apple.com

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
