Just move it to trash folder.

[Happy Medium]

if you are feeling real generous and don't mind wasting the time helping the company that provides the software to so many of these scamsters it's sickening, send it to microsoft.

make sure you include the full message headers.

you didn't win anything but the opportunity to get ripped off if you respond to it.

in general, nobody ever wins contests they don't enter.

specifically, microsoft NEVER has had or intends to start sponsoring contests or promotions that do not come directly off their corporate web site or out of their corporate mailroom.

to my knowledge they don't get involved with very much of that either.

welcome to scam

It's just your average 'You Won the Lottery' scam. They'll want you to send money to the courier service for fees and such not. Then they'll need more money for taxes and on and on.

Besides, your first e-mail (ms_willis@w.cn) is a free 'Windows Live' account, http://www.w.cn/. Much like the old Hotmail accounts. It is not from 'Microsoft'.

The courier service website is 'Forbidden', http://godspeed-couriers.com/, and per the WhoIs info for godspeed-couriers.com that website was created just a week ago (10AUG2009)

thank nomaxim very much,
U r exactly, i'm have many doubts about these two mails.
The first, they don't give me address or phone or fax of their staff, they only give me email. So i can't contact with them directly.
The second, that email is the end of .cn (abbreviate china not from the england or london). i think the person sent that mail to me in the china.
The third, i also think the same with u, i find info the web and i don't find any thing or info about the microsoft word lottery in the mail, the courier company.

So i can conclude that this is Scam :P. and i think i'm really luck when i realize that.
thank you for all.
