    We're getting crap like this at work at the moment, usually with a virus infected file attached. Its very directed though in that someone has managed to get the email addresses that distribute to everyone in a particular business group. Our system filters them out but we still get an emailing telling us that someone has attempted to send a virus and we can read the original message that went with it, which is not unlike the one above.
