I wouldn't consider doing a submit for reconsideration request until you are satisfied there are no issues with your site. Take a look at your backlink profile and see if there are any links that look suspicious and work through removing these, even if it means contacting other webmasters to remove these. Make sure you document all this on a spreadsheet and submit this as part of your reconsideration request but only when you have really addressed the issues that Google have highlighted.

I would look at moving your link profile to include a lot more benign links like your bare url or things like "click here."  Typically people try to stay below 20% with keyword rich inbound links, and you appear to be a lot higher than that.

Anyway, I would look to see if manual action was taken on any page on your website.  Several websites reported getting the warning off an individual page, but many others got it for a site wide penalty.  If you can't find one you might want to move forward with getting more benign links to not be over-optimized.
