This is what is called Phishing they are looking for personal information 

from you so they can collect this information. What really surprises me

is that its suppposed to be an official so why would he be using a HOTMAIL 

address? 

I am not sure how anyone gets pulled into this scam, if they are sending

you this email saying we have approved everything for you... why would 

they still need your information?
