Comment (by allendav):

 @desrosj - this works nicely - I tried it with and without a published
 privacy policy and got both texts. I also tried successive ones and
 verified only the first erase for a given request generated an email.

 I think we should hook this differently though. The
 wp_privacy_personal_data_erased do_action you've added to
 wp_ajax_wp_privacy_erase_personal_data will actually fire on every eraser
 and every page.

 Instead, I recommend you 1) add the do_action to
 wp_privacy_process_personal_data_erasure_page in user.php instead (e.g.
 near the call to _wp_privacy_completed_request) and 2) don't bother with
 passing the $response to the action - the $request_id should be
 sufficient.

 Lastly, there is inconsistent alignment in the email data array
 construction that i think violates WP coding standards, but otherwise this
 is good to go from my perspective.
