"Return without delay to become who you truly are."

"Who" is the subject complement of the clause "you truly are (subj. 
compl.) The conservative view is that this position requires subjective 
case: "I am looking for an honest person, and you truly are she". Thus 
the pronoun should be "who" acc. to traditional rules.

"Who" is also correct in the currently evolving new rules for 
"who/whom", in which "whom" is ceasing to be used, is used rather 
randomly because the user has not internalized the older rules, or is 
used only in fixed expressions such as "to whom it may concern".

Just to demonstrate how confused current speakers of English are on the 
"whom" question, here's a quote from a Ph.D. English lit. professor 
writing in an administrative capacity: "the plan is
to have her serve in this capacity through the first year of the new
CLA dean's "reign," whomever that may be." "Should" be "whoever that may 
be."

There is probably no way to resurrect "whom" at this point. It carries 
no essential information; we should let it go. It will be fun convincing 
standards authorities of that.
