i'm sorry.
what an awful thing to receive...but to put your mind at ease....just last week i got an email from a close friend encouraging me to go gamble. lol. it was sent to her entire address book. i wrote her back and said i couldn't believe she sent something like that out(before i even opened it)......but i just knew it didn't seem like her which is what made me check. well...it wasn't. i am not sure if she was hacked or had a virus....but it was definitely NOT her who sent it...although it clearly came from her account. even WITH firewalls and virus protection programs, things like this definitely still happen.
