How do I destroy my old Xbox Live Gamertag and associate it's email address with another Gamertag?

Let's say I have two gamertags - one called Ghastly and the other called Gurn.

Ghastly is linked to my old spam infested hotmail account.

Gurn is linked to my spam free gmail account.

Ghastly has 10000 gamer points.

Gurn has 46.

I want to get rid of Gurn completely and then associate the gmail account with Ghastly.

THEN I want to completely delete my hotmail account (because it emails people I don't even speak to anymore offering miracle member enlargements and countless lottery wins!)

Anyone that can help me here will not only be a good samaritan, but also will be protecting hundreds of people from the hell-spam that hotmail has failed to prevent!
