  Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.

  PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CONTACTS!

  You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an

  attachment entitled 'POSTCARD,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus

  which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your

  computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address

  in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to

  all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive

  the virus and open it.

  If you receive a mail called POSTCARD,' even though sent to you by a friend,

  do not open it.!
