I recieved an email today and I also got this one once before and ZoneAlarm quarantined it, so I just deleted it. This time I copied the information so someone can tell me if it is a virus type email. Plus ZoneAlarm hasn't quarentined it. I have never saw an email like this before. Here is what it has:

It is addressed to my real name

It says: Something Cute

Attachments: It shows a letter with a red postage stamp and there is a padlock in front of it.

Inside the body:
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to = his congregation: I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we = have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, = it's still out there in your pockets.

G'day,

Chances are that it is harmless, but if in doubt don't open it.
Noboby in this world is going to give you something for nothing- no matter what the heading says.
I delete - as matter of course- ALL email I don't recognise (and some that I do- a friend of mine insists on forwarding crap that she picks up on the net). Don't waste good XMAS holiday time concerning yourself about it.
regards and seasons greetings,
Elric

Its not worth the time to check who sent email. If you dont know who sent it, delete it. We get loads of mail that comes from spoofed addresses so you still cannot be dure who really sent it. Dont lose sleep over these.
