I won the Netherlands lottery!

Except I seem to have fallen into the grasp of a terrible scammer already. I got this:
Mega Millions Award Division.
Great Ormond street Amsterdam
WC1 THE NETHERLAND.
TEL :+31685083128
FAX :+31847276615

Attn:-Winner,

Congratulations from our members of staff. Responsible for the processing of winning prizes in the e-mail lottery program. Your e-mail address attached to a single ticket was found as one of the lucky e-mail addresses that emerged to have won 550,000.00 Euros . It is not a promotion but your email have won you this prize.

The information was passed to us by the LOTTERY COMPANY, to ensure that they are in contact with the rightful owner of the winning e-mail and web-site addresses. We write to explain and clarify the mode and chronologies of the service we render to our clients of lottery claim related issues.

Firstly, our ultimate concern is that our clients get their winning prizes as quickly as it is possible. You are therefore required to fill the Processing Form,and a proof of your identification and return back to this office either as e-mail attachment or via Fax for verification.

Due to mix-up of certain numbers and names, you are required to keep your winning information confidential until your claim has been processed and winning prize remitted to your nominated account. This is part of our security protocols to avoid abuse of the program by some participants.

Be assured that, in line with our principles of efficiency, transparency and customers satisfaction, we handle all verification exercise with the highest level of professionalism and discretion to ensure that our clients receive their prizes within the shortest possible time.

Once again, Congratulations.
Best of Regards,
Mr Patrick Adams
(Claim Supervisor)
I responded, frightened, with:
I'm already in contact with Barrister [one of my characters] about this. He has already received $2,000 toward the total needed to receive my lottery winnings.

I'm not going to send forms and money to people who have no business with me. The right barrister [my character] I know to be honest.

How about you email him. Sometimes the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.
 
His email: [the email addy]

I need you to either prove to me that he is cheating me, or to him that you are not cheating me. We must all be serious about this transaction. I have already spent $2,000 and I will not be fucked with.
