Hi, This definitely doesn't look like a email from Hotmail. I would visit the http://www.microsoft.com/protect/fraud/phishing/reduce.aspx webpage to report it to Microsoft.

Yes, this email is fake click on it and report it as Spam or Junk .Also make sure your Anti-Spam is on in Hotmail option, this email should have gone to Junk I guess it is off, do recheck on Hotmail option Junk.Do NOT response to these fake email.
