Received the following from deleted upon advice. Thanks

"We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account **REMOVED**.

Please submit a new account verification form
At this point, your best option is to submit a new form with as much accurate information as you can gather. The more information you can include in the form, the better the chance you’ll have of regaining access to your account. We’ve included a few tips below to help you fill out the form as completely and accurately as possible.
> Submit a new form
Helpful tips for filling out another form:

• Answer as many questions as you can.
• Use the information you provided when you created the account, or last updated it.
• Submit the form from a computer you frequently use.
• You will be asked to list recently used email addresses and the subject lines from recent emails. Ask for help from family members, friends, or business contacts to confirm their email addresses and tell you the subject lines of the last three emails they sent you.
• Make sure to use the correct domain for your account, such as hotmail.com, live.com, or outlook.com. Keep in mind that your email address may be country specific. For example, if you created your account in Sweden, your domain would be “hotmail.co.se” rather than “hotmail.com”.

Hello, ess1

Please edit your first post to remove/hide your email address. Try not to post personal or sensitive information on the Forum.

Thanks......
@Brink

@f14tomcat - Good advice.

@ess1 - If you haven't requested support from Microsoft for help with your email account, as @TairikuOkami suggested, whoever sent you the email are just spear phishing for your account's login details. At this point, they only have your email address. You can simply proceed to block the sender's email address and delete that email.

My guess is it did come from Microsoft, All the links belong to Microsoft.

As some one else suggested it looks like someone tried to take over your account and failed.

EDIT:
