Due to the congestion in our Gmail servers,there would be removal of
all unused Gmail Accounts.You will have to confirm if your E-mail is
still active by filling out your login info below after clicking the
reply button, or your account will be suspended within 24 hours for
security reasons.

You can report it by using the report phishing button on the message or if you need to feel like you are doing something more you can visit this link. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=abuse&rd=1

When enough users click the report phishing button for a phishing email it is automatically ranked and prioritized as to how serious it is based on how many people are reporting it. Its simple and effective, and you are sure as he'll not the only one getting it.

Also, I get it if your to lazy to search the net for answers, but at least have the bloody courtesy to search the bloody forum you are about to post a question in fir the answer, there are at least two dozen threads related to this topic.
