Many people have been getting these. They are not real. They are fake emails
that have a forged email address. The sender could have put any email address
they liked. Their hope is that you will look at the email and see that it's from
someone familiar to you and that you will open the file attached to the email
(which is a virus) and then you will be infected or whatever the klez virus
does.

I have recieved a dozen such emails in the past few days. Fortunately my
antivirus software detects it and handles it every time.
