As much as I hate to tell you this, Michel, you have been
scammed. There is no such thing as the WIN A HOLIDAY virus.
If there were and if this was true, you would be hearing it
on the national news. This list gets these letters at least
6 times a year, someone receives an email about some other
email with a virus.

Listen: The only way a virus can be transmitted through
email is by opening an attachment to an email - not through
the regular email. That's why you should ALWAYS ask for
attachments to be sent as a TEXT only (unless they are
picture, of course).

Now a statement such as - "don't open an email that has a
.doc attachment" will make sense. In fact. the latest virus,
which opens on July 26th, has been spread that way.

If you want to know about viruses, go to:

and study up on them. It's a fasinating subject.
