I think it is a scam,
But you could check with Microsoft to see if it was a scam, they should be
able to tell you. I got one from (what the scammers said was, but it was
not) PayPal. I sent it to PayPal and they said it was a scam, so checking
sometimes works!

I am based in Singapore. And look what I received this morning from a
certain ***@noos.fr. Obviously the same person who tried the scam
above.
The e-mail I received was obvious to me to be a scam and so I Google-d
"gisele.chouri" and found this post showing the lottery scam.

I hope others don't get conned into revealing personal details.

Dear Friend,

With a very desperate need for assistance,I have summoned up courage to
contact
you since i am presently in Iraq with the United States Marine Corps(USMC)
and found your
contact particulars in an Address journal.I am seeking your assistance to
evacuate the sum of $500,000.00(Five hundred thousand dollars)to you as long
as i am
assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service
here in iraq.This is not a stolen money and there are no dangers involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with
piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam's old
palaces
during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the
money be shared amongst us.No compensation can make up for the risks we have
taken with our lives in this
hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of
money became a problem for me so with the help of a German contact working
here and his office enjoys some immunity i was able to get the package out
to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real
contents of
the package and believes that it belongs to an Asian American who died in an
airaid before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his
family.There is a secured way of getting the package willing to assist me.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
a third party should you have reasons to reject this offer please destroy
this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us.
I do not know for how long we will remain here but hopefully and before the
year runs out,I have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of
God this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out
for help.
Please you can reach me on my personal e-mail address below for more
information.

Thanks,

Capt. James Michael
