I got this email the other day. There are umpteen variations of this on the Net. Although some of the details change, they all have their content written in the same poor English.
The address it came from was Microsoft® Award Team< pinehust@charter.net> showing that the person who sent it didn't even bother to hide their real email address.

If I'd replied to the email, the scammer would have written back asking for my bank details. If you receive a similar email - just bin it along with all the others asking you to update your online bank details.
