Hi Sam,

Microsoft NEVER sends patchs in unsolicited email. I recommend you delete
the email and go to Windows Update and check for critical updates.

Thanks,

No, plus why do you think they would call you "friend"? Microsoft isn't your
friend.

microsoft doesn't want to be your friend, only want your money when they
can get it... delete or filter out that message.
