I've just received the very suspicious email here below.
(I ma posting here w/o graphics AND hiding the Unique ID):

Is this a genuine email from Microsoft? Should I click on the link provided?
If that's a forged email, not genuine, better to stay away.

But I NEVER made any request of password reset. So, what should I do?
