What i did Next
After receiving this message. I had no choice but to accept that ,it was my fault. Actually i sign up for Amazon associate using a yahoo email. This is the email i used in learning online marketing since i was in high school. I subscribed to many websites and programs that bring me at least 100 messages daily. This makes it difficult for me to read all emails here.
Reapplying for Amazon associates was the only solution to keep me in the Amazon affiliate program.
Steps I Took After Creating A New Amazon Affiliate Account
I Followed the Link https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/signup with the other affiliate account still open. Mos of my basic data was filled. I then completed the other fields and clicked on Next.
