A sample text that you can use

This theme is being closed because the following security/prefixing issues have been found :Please do not get discouraged by the ticket being closed. If you have questions you can ask them here or in the #themereview channel on Slack. Fix these issues and ensure you have checked your theme for additional security or prefixing problems.
