Dear Windows Live User,

We are contacting you regarding your communication preference settings for Windows Live and MSN.

Currently, your settings do not allow Microsoft to send you promotional information or survey invitations about Windows Live and MSN. We would like to communicate important product updates to you, so if you would like to change your settings, please visit your account profile <a href="http:// microsoft.windowslive.com/Key=Sod0ff">here</a> to change your preferences.

Sincerely,
The Windows Live Team

Note: You can also change your Account settings by going to your browser and typing in: http:// account.live.com. After logging-in to your account, look for 'Additional options' and click 'Marketing preferences'. Then uncheck the top preference box and click 'Save'.

Fristly, is this even a real site? It only seems to have seven pages.

So lets assume that this doesn't smell phishy straight away and is genuine. Having managed to tick the box to say I do not want to be left without the chance to not get marketing emails, Why on Earth would I want to agree to receive spam?

And, if you have currently told them you don't want to receive promotional information, why are they sending you promotional information?
