Even without posting the headers or any hyperlinks in the message, it's easy to identify a message like that as a bogus message. Note the poor use of English ("see this alerts") and the creation of the sense of urgency ("permanently disabled if"). There is also almost certainly a bogus hyperlink for iforgot.apple.com in the message which would lead to a website that was designed to scare you into supplying your credentials to the scammer.

There are several signs to show this is fake:
Poor grammar
It doesn’t say your name but it says your email Dear ggwilson@me.com
The sent address. It doesn’t contain Apple.
iForgot is a site to recover your password not to log-in
Apple’s Privacy Policy is 2019 Copyright and not 2018
What I would do:
Log-in to https://appleid.apple.com check the status of your account and change your password
Not clicking the iForgot link in the email
Report the email as encouraged by Apple:
If you receive what you believe to be a phishing email that's designed to look like it’s from Apple, please send it to reportphishing@apple.com
