Okay let's make a couple of things clear. If you are receiving e-mails like this. They didn't come from me. None of my machines are infected with any viruses.and I won't send e-mails from non existant address. If you have received one . It didn't come from me. And while yes, this one was checked in windows outlook express client, it is because when I am on the road I check it with the work laptop. Which I make sure stays clean.

I have a strict Spam Policy. So if I found out who sent this. I will go after them. If you have knowledge of who sent this please let me know.
