THIS IS A HOAX! Re: RC: NEW VIRUS

[twoodcock@lendleaserei.com]

This is a false warning of a malicious e-mail which does not exist. Ignore this
hoax warning and DO NOT PASS IT ON.

However, there is a VBS/LoveLetter variant (VBS/LoveLetter.AJ) that spreads this
hoax with two other common hoxes. More information about this worm is available
