I just received a variant of the Bagle virus that I had not seen before. It appears to originate from your isp (although the header is forged). It was caught by my isp's spam filter, but others may receive this and take it at face value. Take a look at the info page (http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_101071.htm) at NAI for additional variations on the wording

I've seen a few of those also. It's scary for a minute, before you figure it out.
