I think you're going to be alright and the only real issue here is going to be the hassle of getting another copy of your birth certificate some time in the future (if you haven't already).

I really doubt they read the journal

JFC, just go pick it up.

any ~sexy~ stories in that journal that you'd like to share with us?

I don't understand the obvious reasons why you didn't pick it up...they already know it's yours, and it has important docs in it. How long ago did you receive this email (based on your question, this could have been recently or three years ago)? If this was over a year ago, then you obviously have nothing to worry about. If this just happened, pick up your journal...otherwise you are abandoning it, and someone is likely to read it. Even if they did, I doubt any repercussions would follow, however.
