Now I received another email from a friend who had just received the same 
warning message I sent you a few minutes ago and she said: A lot of times 
the WARNING message IS the
virus. They tell you to send it to all your friends and blahblah, only to 
have YOU spread it. --- Sigh. Hope there's no damage done this time.

 If you receive an e-mail titled JOIN THE CREW or PENPALS DO NOT open
it!

 It will erase EVERYTHING on your hard drive!  Send this letter out to as
many people as you canthis is a new virus and not many people know
about it!! This information was received this morning  by  IBM, please
share it with anyone that might access the Internet!!!

 PENPAL appears to be a friendly letter asking you if you are interested 
in
a penpal.but by the time you read this letter it is TOO LATE.

 The Trojan horse virus will have already infected the boot sector of your
hard drive, destroying all the data present.  It is a self-replicating
virus, and once the message is read it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself 
to
anyone who's e-mail address is present in your box!!!
 This virus will destroy your hard drive and holds the potential  to
DESTROY the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your box and whose mail
is in their box and so on and on!
So delete any message titled PENPAL or JOIN THE CREW...this virus can do
major DAMAGE to worldwide networks

 PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND PEOPLE IN YOUR MAILBOXES.

 AOL HAS SAID THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR
THIS...FORWARD IT TO ALL YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS  A.S.A.P.!!
