I deleted the attachments sent me by this individual, without downloading, 
after getting the Virus Alert here, and I deleted the e-mail that they were 
attached to, then I notified various other places about this virus alert.  If 
anyone still has a copy that they have not deleted, your anti-virus support 
people might like to have their research departments take a look at it.

Thank you for this information.  One of the best ways to discover new viruses 
is 
through our customers sending in this kind of information.  We would like to 
take a 
look at the attachment that you are seeing to determine its code and type of 
virus.
If you could submit the file to our research department, that would be great.

Try one of these two methods:

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance for this situation.
