Hello [something]@auzsoft.net.
Yesterday, I checked my E-Gold account and was really shoked to find about 200 gold ounces (100,177.90 USD) there. I have never had such a big amount of money available (the last balance of my account was only 177.90 USD) and I have no even a slightest idea about the origin of the money. Upon receiving the requested history of records I realized that the transfer had been made 2 hours before, and the Memo field contained your e-mail address:[something]@auzsoft.net. In a short run, while I was making the inquiries, the money and MY own savings of 177 USD disappeared. I changed my password immediately and now intend to clarify the situation and to investigate the people, who involved me in the unfair play. Fortunately I made a screenshot copy (document file), attached in this letter and compressed into zip file. Hope for your assistance in this matter. I feel a little bit scared and still hesitate to apply to E-gold support service.
Best regards,
Stephen Helgeson
I send the attachment to McAfee and to F-Secure.
McAfee replied with:

But F-Secure came back with:
The file is detected as Trojan-Dropper.MSWord.Lafool.m. Detection has been added as part of pattern database update starting 2006-08-08_04
And, true to their word, the latest virus sigs do catch it:
