Microsoft Promotions Scam

I received the same email telling me I won $750,000! I actually took it one step further and responded asking them what I should do to get my funds. So they sent me this ridiculous looking claims form to fill out! They told me that in order for them to process my claim that I must first send them a notarization fee of 410 euros. Which I believe is about 499 US dollars! I sent them an email back telling them they were out of their minds over there and that I wasn't falling for that line of bull!

Here is the email they sent me:
