Dear Lucky Winner End Of Year 08 Microsoft Windows Live Team Scam

A friend of mine recieved this email, It is an other attempt from the scammers. It is same as the other scams again in this email the scammer is asking for the information. Later he will ask for some kind of fees to release your prize. A question for all of you people reading this post. Did Microsoft, yahoo or any other email service providers mentioned anything on their websites that they will select five random people to win this huge amount of money. The answer is no.
If they will introduce such scheme they will tell the whole world and you will know about it before you recieve such email.
Just ignore and delete this email this is just a scam.
I am pasting the email for your information.
