Fwd: Myparty virus DANGER!

I am resending this message because I think the way I originally addressed 
it will bounce.  Myparty messages definitely are carriers of a virus.  DO 
NOT OPEN.  DELETE AND THEN EMPTY YOUR TRASH.  I just got still another 
message from the lockmans.  I recommend you delete anything you receive 
from this sender.
