Subject: VIRUS ALERT

     If you receive an e-mail titled -WIN A HOLIDAY- DO NOT open it, it will
erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out to as many
people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and not many
people know about it. This information was announced yesterday
morning from Microsoft, please share it with everyone that might access
the Internet. Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address book
so that this may be stopped.
     Also, do not open or even look at any mail that says -RETURNED OR
UNABLE
TO DELIVER- this virus will attach itself to your computer components and
render them useless.  Immediately delete any mail items that say this.
AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy
for it at this time. please practice cautionary measures and forward
this to all your on-line friends.
