Folks,
Yesterday a colleague received this when he inquired about similar
messages he got from Latin America. It looks like Haddy's machine has
been affected too. Knowing them I am confident that Gamtel folks will do
whatever necessary to restore confidence.

I've received a two emails - one in English, another in Spanish - from Latin
America. The text is as shown below, and there is what appears to be a
"text" file attached. Unless you know the person who is sending the file,
and you are expecting something specific from them, I would not recommend
opening email attachments, especially when the text message is so vague.
