There is no "2018 Asia Microsoft Notification," therefore, recipients of fake emails like the one below are asked not to follow the instructions in them. They should instead, delete the fake emails because they are being sent by lottery scammers. The lottery scammers send the fake emails to their potential victims in an attempt to trick them into responding. Once potential victims respond, the scammers will trick them into sending money for the so-called lottery.

But, once the scammers receive their victims' money, they will take it and disappear leaving the victims with the lottery the prize they were promised.
