Microsoft Account Security Alert Email - Is this real?

I received the below email from what I believe to be MS...is this one actually true or another scam?

Microsoft account

Security alert

We think that someone else might have accessed the Microsoft account pg*****@gmail.com. When this happens, we require you to verify your identity with a security challenge and then change your password the next time you sign in.

If someone else has access to your account, they have your password and might be trying to access your personal information or send junk email.

If you haven't already recovered your account, we can help you do it now.
