Is this Real of fake email from Amazon

Hi,
I received an email from Amazon asking for identification documents. It looks pretty genuine but due to being deactivated I was a bit cautious, so sent an message to Amazon with the email. Amazon is saying it is fake. Has anyone else received such an email?
