is this email fake?

Hi Brian,
To close a Microsoft account, this will be made by the account owner by undergoing a process. Once completed, an email will be sent to the contact email address associated on the account indicating the date of deactivation. An account that is set for closure will undergo a 60 days recycling process before it permanently deletes from the system. Regarding the email that you received, we can validate that it's a fake email since it didn't indicate the date of closure and the email address of the Microsoft account involved. To confirm that your account is active, you can sign in online through Outlook.com. We also advise that you report this email using this link as your reference.
Let us know if you need clarification.
