The text of that email is virtually identical with others I have seen and is IMHO
a 'phishing' attempt.  Many of the ant-spam/anti-virus engines will label everything a
'virus' even if it is technically some other kind of threat.

The first time I saw it it even supposedly came from someone who was known to be travelling 
to the foreign city that was cited, an interesting coincidence.

Based on the headers, I don't believe it came from Gail or John's computer but was forged 
to appear to come from John's email address.

How John's email address got in the hands of the sender of that note is unclear.
