If you have received from me a bogus email offering passworded files, I do
apologise. It was not I; but I am sorry.
Just delete the horrid thing, please.
And please let me know if it happens again.
It shouldn't happen again but then it shouldn't have happened the first
time.Please blame gmail! and if you have dealings with British Gas and HSBC
and therefore have data about you on their system take heart from knowing
that they accepted that bogus email as reliable
