Subject: Important Notice from the ABN AMRO Prime Brokerage Help Desk

Dear Colin, (sent to e-mail address cwest@xxxxxxxxxxxx)

Important message regarding your email,


There have been reports of a message sent from an ABN AMRO email address
which includes an invite to take part in a ABN AMRO Security Evaluation.
This message did not originate from ABN AMRO, however, the sender does
look
similar to an ABN AMRO email address.  

Upon responding to the invite the user is sent a file by the name of
"Evaluation.txt" and instructed to rename this to a .exe and run it.

Please do not follow these instructions as the potential for a virus
and/or
a security breach could arise.  

If you have received an email with the instructions listed above, please
contact the helpdesk.

If you have any questions concerning this, please contact the ABN-AMRO
Prime
Brokerage Helpdesk PBHelpdesk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or call us at
888-774-6351.

Sincerely,

ABN-AMRO Technical Support
