Multiple exclamation marks. Appears to be a claim of causing physical damage
to hardware. It is impossible for a virus to damage hardware. Claims you get
it just from downloading.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!
IT JUS WENT INTO CIRCULATION LESS THAN 48 HOURS AGO, AS FAR WE KNOW...
BE CAREFUL. PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. THANKS!

This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. This
information was announced some 25 hours ago from Microsoft. Please share it
with everyone that might access the internet. Once again, pass this along to
EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped.
Reference to an organization that has nothing to do with viruses.
Doesn't give a date, just says 25 hours ago, so it will never expire.
