Ignore it! It does smell Phishy (our new word for this month!) Reply to it and your MSN account will be used as an open pathway for spammers or worse Mad
Look up Phishing on Google and you'll see what I'm on about
Here's the same thing I recieved but from a different company Mad The English on your's is a lot better than on mine Big Grin
And here is a link which has very good advice on this Matter, both in Detection and prevention.

And what to do with that email?
Forward it to Msn (highlights by me)
quote:
Need to Report Junk E-mail?

To report unsolicited bulk e-mail (also known as spam) or other Terms of Use violations, please forward an unedited copy of the offending message and its full message header to Abuse_uk@msn.com.


The address at the end is for the Uk (MSN) users
The correct address will be here:
http://explorer.msn.com/contactus.htm

Bedstor, there's something wrong with that link (to report to MSN). It returns an error message saying it can't be forwarded because some of the names are invalid, or some such. I'll try the other one.

Thanks.

Open the Member Center page which has the top 10
options on it. Look to the left and hit the "Customer Support" link(2nd from top) then the "Contact us " link on the next page. This will bring you to the page where I got that quote and the address is on that page.
