David, http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99455 shows the exact email you've posted below! Indeed, this is a variant to the "original" Klez virus.
Thanks, Bobby Irvin -----Original Message----- From: David M.

I regularly get emails that cause Norton Antivirus to warn me that the WormKlez virus is embedded in the message, that it can't fix it, so it recommends that I "quaranteen" it, whatever that means. Today I received this email, with an attachment. (I have NOT opened the attachment). Sounds fishy to me - any one heard of this? "Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please (click on mailtome). " David Blocker
