Recieved an email with the sender tag of security@microsoft.com 9/14 early AM

It read: Subject:Use this patch immediately !
Body:Dear friend, use this Internet Explorer patch now!
There are dangerous virus in the Internet now!
More than 500.000 already infected!

Because it contained an infected .exe Outlook blocked the
attatched file DELETD0.TXT read:
File attachment: patch.exe
A file attached to this email was removed
because it was infected with a virus.
Result: Virus Detected
Virus Name: W32.Dumaru@mm
File Attachment: patch.exe
Attachment Status: deleted

I need to forward this (cleaned) email to microsoft for
investigation. What address is best ( I will assume it is
not security@microsoft.com the tagged sender)?
