Dear $username,

The login password you use for the account "$username" has been found to
be insecure by the "Crack" password guessing program.  You must change
your password as soon as possible. 

Passwords which are not easily compromised by programs such as "Crack"
are based upon non-dictionary words, hence any word which might appear
in a dictionary, EVEN IF IT IS SUPPOSEDLY A OBSCURE WORD is unsuitable. 

Similarly, any password which is derived from your name, department or
other personal information is unsuitable because it can be easily
guessed. 

It is important that password security be maintained at a high level for
the sake of ALL the people who use these computers.  We thank you for
your co-operation in this matter. 

                                Yours,

                                        Alec Muffett, Aberystwyth, UK
                                        pp Your System Administrator
