I was about to say that, but then I read this :)

The only change I'd like to see here would be of wording.
Either the message (sentence then question) is rewritten to match the
button labels, or the button labels changed to match the message.
I suggest removing the question...

yes.
Dave Bordoley did not like the display with 4 buttons...
Well, I understand his view and I don't have any problem with having the
list of actions then ok, but I've read in a site criticizing UI that
although that is a very organized way of doing things (in a tech kind of
way) it is not very user friendly because it takes more time than just
clicking a button, since there are not that many options for this dialog
4 unique buttons isn't really a lot compared to quickly and easily doing
things with ONE click (I hope Amazon doesn't sue me).
