When I try to close my hotmail account I get the message:

There is a Microsoft email account (Windows Live Hotmail) associated with your account, so you can't close your Windows Live account immediately. To close your Windows Live account, you need to close your Microsoft email account first. After a period of inactivity, your Windows Live account will automatically be closed. Close your Microsoft account

I then click on the "close your microsoft account" link and get the message:

This option isn't available for your account.        

I want my hotmail email account and my windows live account closed asap. How do I do that?

Thanks.
