I'd be wondering how they got my email address in the first place.


Snopes confirms that it is real:

With Christmas fast approaching, watch out for this...be alert.

The newest virus circulating is the "UPS Delivery Failure."

You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet
number. It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you
on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy
attached.

DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.

This virus has caused millions of dollars of damage.
