November 2

I am forwarding this message which I received from someone I trust. Please pass it along.
   
    This morning, I received the enclosed virus warning from a trusted source. Thought I ought to pass it along.
    I don't think this is a Halloween prank.
    
    Forward this letter out to as many people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus
    and not many people know about it.
    This information was announced yesterday morning from Microsoft; please share it with
    everyone that might access the Internet.
    Once again, pass this along to everyone in your address book so that this may be stopped
    before it spreads far.

    If you receive an e-mail titled "WIN A HOLIDAY" do not open it, it will
    erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out to as many
    people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and not many
    people know about it. This information was announced yesterday morning
    from Microsoft, please share it with everyone that might access the
    Internet. Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address book so
    that this may be stopped. Also, do not open or even look at any mail
    that says "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER" this virus will attach itself
    to your computer components and render them useless. Immediately delete
    any mail items that say this. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous
    virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this time. Please practice
    precautionary measures and forward this to all your on-line friends.
