Maybe it is relavent to this list. I got one a few hours ago. Since I had
no clue who the sender was, I ran a virus scan on the mystery file called
comercial_nuba.doc.bat and it came up clean. But the text of the message
was the same or similar to the one you have - bad English included.
To quote:
>Hi! How are you?
>I send you this file in order to have your advice
>See you later. Thanks
Well - never execute a file from an unknown source. So its still just
sitting in my attachments folder. Or was, until now. Now its deleted.
