It is a spam/scam message, did not come from me. And it is
not my contacts list being hacked, because I dont have one. All of
ny contact information is in a separate text file that has no connection
to the internet or to my email client software.<br><br>
There has been a rash of this type of spam e-mails on the internet
in the last couple of weeks with a web link or attachment, looking like
it came from a friend when it didn't. This appears to me like the
spammer is copying a legitimate email message, then sending a spam
message to the same recipient while using the original sender's name and
address in the From line. It commonly says something mysterious like,
"This is in follow-up to our prior conversation", and
"Click here". If you don't understand it, dont
click. Contact your frield to see if it really came from
him.<br><br>

</font>Hi!<br>
This is regarding our last dialogue. I've prepared a new presentation -
you<br>
can check it for errors.<br>

Didn't get the original of this (which happens from time to time) but
seat<br>
belts can have two methods of locking. One is when the car tilts
or<br>
decelerates more than a certain amount, the other is if the belt is
yanked<br>
out of the reel fast enough, and not all belts have both.<br>
