I'm thinking of something like:

Dear user,

I cannot let you use <app_name> for free anymore blah blah blah. If you truly cannot afford it, drop me an email and we'll work something out. Sincerely, <my name>.

Adding a couple of buttons at the bottom, one for sending me an email and another one for buying the app.

Not bad, but be sure to try and check the message from Transmit from Panic... I remember that when reading it I felt guilty (way back in my college days when I didn't have money and did in fact pirate a bit). This message is nice and simple but does not elicit any kind of emotions from the pirate.

Found the message, it's exactly how you described it:
