You should not only save this mail, rather take a screenie from those
config dialogs, to have the original settings at hand when needed to be
replaced.

if your sources.list contain s.th. like:
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
universe multiverse

(where you replace de.archive.ubuntu.com with a mirror near to you, a
list is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive)

then:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade

will do the trick

I have been a newbe also and some kind souls where (and still are)
patient with me, so...

...and personally it is fun to me to think about others problems.
