All,

Jacob Avraham has sent one or more infected email messages to all of these
accounts.
Would all of you in the To: field please contact Jacob immediately and ask
him to
install an AntiVirus Program on his computer and clean it up before sending
any
more email messages?  He also needs to keep his Virus Definitions up-to-date
(we
prefer weekly updates).

This recent virus will attempt to install XXX links in your web browser
which is
of course against Nortel's standards.

Please ask Jacob to inform me when he has done this.
If this does not happen soon, we may be forced to block his incoming email
in order to prevent further potential damage to our computers.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated,
Pete Sherwood
