Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail concerning the Microsoft lottery.  We would
like to confirm this is a hoax website and did not originate from
Microsoft.  Microsoft does not have any  connection whatsoever with
this alleged lottery. It's unfortunate that some people have chosen to
abuse the freedom that the internet offers by conducting fraudulent
activity.

Privacy and security are very important to Microsoft.   For more

Yours sincerely,
Microsoft UK
