No one has seen the papers to know. Something seems strange. If find it hard to believe that a sheriff would deliver a made up form.
I suggest that you go to the court which issued the writ and see if it is indeed on file. If so, you have to leave the property in 10 days unless you posted bond and appealed.
If there is a valid writ of possession filed, you need to speak with a local landlord tenant attorney or legal aid.
