Dear *********************

In order to keep our customers safe, we had to suspend your e-mail account. This happened because your e-mail was tagged as a VIRUS account.

That's why you're prompted to verify your account to re-activate your Hotmail e-mail service by following the link below:

http://du598w.dub452.mail.live.co.uk/mxil/HEpLight.aspx?HOP-VER=wli&n=48902409

Spammers sometimes use automated programs to create WindowsLive or other email accounts and then send unsolicited spam messages to others.

When you click the verification link, you're asked to login again on our secured website. By completing our verification form, you prove that you're a human, and not a spam program.

Hotmail will occasionally prompt you to verify your account again, just to make sure you're still you and your account hasn't been compromised for spam purposes.

Thank you ,

WindowsLive e-mail security department
