This is a Worm called "SWEN", I received about 10 emails in less than two
hours. Fortunately for us, this worm doesn't affect Macintosh, if you need
more info you could check the Symantec website.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

If receiving these emails is bothersome, I would recommend to create a rule
to send them directly to your trash can.
