it lols as if it’s from Microsoft, but I’m very suspicious! Is this a scam, please??

Hey there

That email looks like a scam (phishing attempt).

Microsoft will not threaten to delete your account through such emails.

Do not reply/click any links or download attachments.

In Outlook, open the email -> click Report -> Phishing.

After reporting, delete the email.

Your account will not be deleted if you ignore the message.
