What the letter says
An LLC elected to be taxed as a corporation (or a foreign entity chose its US classification), and the election is in effect from the date shown.
What to do
Confirm the date and classification. Note that an election to be taxed as a corporation does not by itself make you an S corporation; that needs Form 2553 too.

Write back
