i received notice of intent to cancel my status and requested to reply in writing why they should not cancel my status.

If you choose to respond, you will have to explain why you used the false document and attempt to convince U.S.C.I.S. that despite the use of the document, you had a bona fide marriage in its inception. In the event the you cannot, you will most likely be served with a notice to appear (NTA) before an immigration judge. At that time, you can attempt to convince him or her of the bona fides of your marriage prior to your divorce.
