John-
It's extremely easy to spoof the FROM: address.  This is no doubt from a
spammer who bought or harvested your email address somewhere, and then
shoots out mail through an open relay using bogus header information.  If
you look at the detailed headers, you may be able to glean some information
as to whom the real originator of the email may be.
Good luck
Fred

Subject: question on spoofed email


I have received several e-mails from my own email address with the subject
line as follows:

Dear  jleonard  , as you reguested...

There is nothing in the body of the message and there are no attachments.  


I did not originate these messages.  Has anyone else seen this?  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

John
