    it's a chain mail I reckon. Quite obviously with the "If you do not send this ... to fifteen hotmail users within 24 hours" thing. Hotmail wouldn't be so unprofessional.

    Strange how they need you to send an email 15 times instead of just checking account activity.

    1. as stated, hotmail would not be so unprofessional

    2. hotmail wouldnt normally make gramatical errors in their mailshots/threatening letters

    "Within this message is encoded a small program that will located and debug your account when sent to fifteen other hotmail users

    Hotmail wouldn't also use such threatening language. The whole thing basically says "You are a leech and we hate you." Microsoft tend to think such attitudes are bad for PR :)
