The most well-known one targetting me contains the author message: Nick "The Love Monkey" Virus Package by ALT-F4 and ALT-F11 for the Alternative Virus Mafia and sends Email mesages from victim machines to what was my address as thaVirus Bulletin editor that say: Dear Nicky... my name is <<Application.UserName>> and I want to make hot monkey love with you. You anti-virus stud! These Emails were sent by Outlook via automation (a forerunner to Melissa) and as the default in Outlook is save a copy of all messages, I also got quite a few "I have no idea who/how that message was sent..." Emails.
