Dear Kenneth

Please can you provide a bit more information. I am very pleased to hear the news of the win, but please can you provide some documentation to show that you are from Microsoft? Is it possible to provide a copy of the winning certificate by email first? Maybe also a picture of your identification with Microsoft? This is a normal request.

Many thanks,
Phil

Fun fact: Since when do Microsoft Teams use Yahoo addresses??
Skynet Express is a real company, but these are false details.
Skynet was also the name of the AI in the Terminator movies
