I have got a fraud mail like below which is making use of Microsoft brand name. Microsoft never awards like this as it is trustful and good company. Whoever is trying to fraud like this must be a bagger, nothing else. What actions should i take if i get such mails? Can anybody suggest me? Mail content was like this.

Dear WINNER!!
The prestigious Microsoft and AOL has set out and successfully organised a Sweepstakes marking this year anniversary, we rolled out over 5, 000.000.00 (Five million Great Britain Pounds) for this year Anniversary Draws. Participants for the draws were randomly selected and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.
The selection was made randomly from World Wide Web site through a computer draw system extracted from over 100, 000 individuals and companies, attaching email addresses to ticket numbers. If you ignore this, you will regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail better test.
