I don't think you realize what this is. You're being written up and this email has been placed in your file. The manager is trying to fire you with cause. If you want to keep this job, you need to follow the instructions to the letter, regardless of what others are doing. He's documented YOUR failures, not theirs. He's writing you up for failing to follow procedure, and any response that you give him that's anything beyond either "yes, I understand" or "the sole reason that I wasn't able to follow procedure was [reason completely out of your control]" will only antagonize him.
If you want to play the political game here, you need to realize that you've got little manuver room here and that the stakes are high. Personally I suggest that you post this in front of you and make sure that you're following procedure to the point of annoying everyone around you. If you don't, you'll probably be looking for a new job soon.
