very very easily - it's done all the time. 


"E-mail sent from someone pretending to be someone else is known as
spoofing. "

It is wise not to execute any program sent in email's unless you are
absolutely sure you know it was being sent by someone you trusted. 

 Even if someone I knew having met them in the flesh - and trusted - I
would scan such files with Internet security software first.
