[Resolved]  Microsoft Corporation - Edinburgh Regional Office, Microsoft Edinburgh — Seems like a hoax letter

I have received a letter of advice from Microsoft - Edinburgh Reginal office (full address details given given above under company) telling me I have won Sterling Pds 850,000. They are asking me to provide my personal details to facilitate this payment. I am attaching copy of their letter for your perusal. Please investigate & let me know if this is indeed a hoax.

I am from Malaysia. I do received the same notification as the above. Looks like there are so many 3rd prize winners.
My son, too, has received a similar email to yours. We are sure it is a hoax. Can Microsoft Corporation please take some action to prevent others from being tricked?
No body is responding to this complain and WHY?
I am from NZ and today have received same email. Why is Microsoft not responding when "whoever" is using their exact contact details?How are they getting our email addresses? Is this Microsoft office address a hoax too?
I am a third prize winner too:-) Received an e-mail today, exactly the same letter as the above recipients. Has to be a hoax. Why Microsoft is not responding puzzles me quite a bit.
