Thread Name: Computer virus alert
Subject: RE: Computer virus alert
I received this one yesterday. (With apologies to friends from Newfoundland)

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have just received the "NEWFOUNDLAND VIRUS". Since we don't have any programming experience and just a few computers in Newfoundland, this virus works on the honour system. Please delete all the files from your hard drive and manually forward this virus to everyone on your mailing list.

Some, may find it more effective to rearrange the sequence of events, due too both, time constraints and hardware considerations. In any case, your assistance in keeping this a timely affair, will be appreciated.

Thanks for you cooperation,
