Default Reset your Windows Live ID password?

I've recently been getting these suspicious mail from supposedly microsoft telling me I resetted my password and i need to do this if i did and that if i didn't. Did some googling and some other people been getting them aswell. As advice to these other people they just say delete it and forget about it, which I did but these mails keep coming everyday which is annoying. Anyone know if it's legit?

I DID change my password recently but I'm able to log in with my new password...
Oh, and these mails came a few DAYS after I changed my password...

this is the mail that was sent:
