FROM:     ROB JONES, SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS & SECURITY MANAGER

Subject:  ***IMPORTANT WARNING***

I have just received a message from Joe Caldwell regarding a warning for a
potential virus for users of Internet Services.  In order to play safe this
message should be cascaded to all E:mail users and I would be grateful if
you could ensure that this warning is passed on as appropriate as soon as
possible AS IMPORTANT DATA COULD BE DESTROYED.

**WARNING**

If you get an e-mail with the header - PENPAL GREETINGS - destroy the mail
without reading it.  This is a warning to every user of internet - a dangerous
virus is spread from internet through e-mail. The mail PENPAL GREETINGS ! - is
a letter , in which it is asked if you would like to have penpal. While you
are reading the mail a virus called - Trojan horse - is already spread to your
harddisk, and destroys all your files. The virus is able to copy itself, this
means that when the mail has been read it sends itself automatically to all
e-mail addresses, which you have in your address lists . This virus destroys
your harddisk and probably also the harddisks of the persons on your e-mail
address lists and the harddisks of the persons on their address lists and so
on. Destroy the mail - PENPAL GREETINGS! - immediately. Please distribute this
message to everyone with whom you have e-mail contact.


Delivery Priority: Normal
