file renamed to passport.jpg:
I have attached the Account Opening Form as you requested as well

On the website of the real lottery, http://www.bankgiroloterij.nl,
you can see that all this is a scam. Therefore I decide to stop here.
Warning fake e-mails BankGiro Lottery
We are sorry to inform you the message you have received from the BankGiro
Lottery telling youve won a prize, is a hoax. It appears a number of
English speaking people have received similar messages. Currently we
are trying very hard to find out who is responsible for this. We would
like to point out that any prizes you win in our lottery will automatically
be transferred to your bank account. Any message you might receive telling
you to take any action in order to obtain a prize is surely fake. Also,
the contact information (address, people allegedly working for the BankGiro
Lottery) mentioned in the message are all fake. Any further messages
from this sender should be considered as junk mail and can be deleted
instantly.
