Sai Ram. Such spams and scams have been going around for years. It is surprising that people are still thinking about them. I delete them without opening.

Keep away from it .......they are frauds for sure.Use your brain , why did they chose you while there are thousands of better and more active users of web-email?? They send such massages to everyone on the net some of these do fall prey to such frauds.
Also Yahoo and Microsoft are not in lottery business and are two diffrent companies competing with each other......they will never join hands for such stupid lottery

Since when has Microsoft started lotteries???? And it's highly unlikely that Yahoo and Microsoft will get together. It's a scam. Just delete the mail and forget about it. There's no money in it for you. In fact, these are ways of extracting money from you.
