Think once if Microsoft is giving you that much money, why don't they give that to their shareholders, not just "friends" who receive this e-mail, this is the trick to get your e-mail addresses nothing else.
This is one of the reply on Microsoft forum: This is going on for over 2 years now and I'm surprised why Microsoft hasn't released an official statement. The first time I received this email was way back in 2007 and it's pretty interesting to see that all those who 'claim' to have got fat cheques don't share their phone#s or anything.
ITS FAKE AND FAKE AND FAKE.. Why would ANYONE want to give out that kinda money.. if they really did by now Microsoft would have gone bankrupt.
