Suspicous email from 'Microsoft Customer Support'

Hello chaps!

Today and on Monday, I got a strange email from Microsoft Customer Support (postmaster@live.com) telling me they've received a request to reset my Windows Live password. But the email asks you to follow a link to cancel the request, which seems strange to me. Isn't not following the request through effectively cancelling the request anyway?

The email doesn't look very official, but the address does and the email found its way through my high junk-mail filters to my inbox so I'm a bit stumped. Do I need to do anything? Anyone know anything about these emails?

Cheers all.

    It's a phishing attempt. Delete it.

    Suspected so. It's the only request I've ever seen that has a cancellation procedure.

    Thanks :)
