How did you get an email from MEW? I don't recall providing an email address when I registered. Unless it is something new they are requesting now a days I would say that is a phishing attempt.
EDIT: I just saw the message were you mention the email came from "[email protected]" . Definitely a scam then. Always check the sender before doing anything. Too many people trying to scam crypto users now a days.

What email?? MEW sent email to all their users?
I think it's not MEW. In the registration of wallet they not ask us to fill our email. They only ask us to fill a password. It's strange if MEW can sent email to us if they don't know our email.
And also it said to fill form with your own data. Dude it's surely a phising. Don't touch it dude, be aware

I use MEW too but I did not receive any such email. All in all, it doesn't sound like a true email. I think it is a phishing email more than anything else. If u truly.understand block chain, u will know that MEW is not an exchange and they do not hold your private keys. There is no way that they will do that

is this true? or phising?
i use MEW too and i dont receiving email like this. and i dont remember use email for make wallet.
I have not received any email from myetherwallet, while i have a wallet with them from many years, so looks like the email guys are looking for your private info to access your wallet, i will suggest not to reply them or click any links in that email to stay safe.
the email from this scammer is sending by random, if you never share email or any contact info, you're not get this mail, i don't understand the method their used for getting our personal information if we never share the mail.
Hmm it's a scam actually.
Official MEW won't ask you to fill any form because they have all your data.
Official MEW won't ask you to fill any form because they have all your data.
A lot of acquaintances, and I received letters from MEW, I think that there is no need to fill out any forms, you need to be very careful!
I also received a letter today, but I did not even read it, I immediately deleted it. I do not believe that MEW can send us something. Most likely these are swindlers as always 
Thanks for notifying us. MEW will never send email since we did not register our emails at all. Please discard all emails claiming they are from MEW.
That is strange! Just be careful not to reply such email.... Looks like someone is trying to scam you. If there is any genuine development of that kind, then all users of MEW ought to receive the message, but that is not the case.
An e-mail from MEW, i dont remember receiving one. You need to be more cautious, i never do what they want me to do. As soon as they use the word "Fill", i delete the message. There are a lot of scammers lately. Be careful
Seems like another scam, these are huge updates and I don't understand how these differences avoid phishing attacks because it is nothing to do with my ether wallet.
MEW Team will never email anyone cause they dont have any datas about their user email so this kind of tactic is obvious as scam. Dont trust anything about emails that you recieved better dont click anything that you dont know if you participated or not. Beware of this kind phising tactics.
Any emails from MEW = a phishing scam mail . The first thing you need to ask your self is , did I sign up with my email ? the answer is no of course , then how the hell they got my email ! the answer is they didn't got your email and this is just a scam that a lot of users fall for it and there is already a lot of threads warning people from it .
NEVER GO TO EXCHANGE OR YOUR WALLET FROM A LINK SENT BY EMAIL OR IN CHAT .

It immediately looks like phishing. MEW developers will not send you email, they will notify their users on the official website. Especially since we do not specify mail when registering, then where do they know it from? 
Good news for all the MEW holders, at least now their burden about their account will lessen if that is true, but for sure it might true as the MEW team will do something about the number of holders hacking their account.
My believe is that this kind of mails created by the scammer rackets, whose are always makes plans to stolen the coins of innocent peoples by hacking their private keys. As we all know that while creating the MEW, at that time MEW is not asked about our mail address, then how MEW can send us mail. Please do not reply to any of these types of mail and should be promptly deleted if you want to save your coins.
I'm going to guess about it, the form you need to fill up ask your private key? and the wallet address? just a guess well don't open any attachment from that email as it may infect your own PC or device with a virus attached to the file, just like others opinion this is an attempted phishing and hacking from hackers via email, they will not gonna announce something from a suspicious email as they are not asking email to create a wallet in the first place, how the hell they will know your own email? as far as I know, they always do the updates on the official website and social media.
I have not received any email from myetherwallet, while i have a wallet with them from many years, so looks like the email guys are looking for your private info to access your wallet, i will suggest not to reply them or click any links in that email to stay safe.
