There are many emails like this one coming in lately. One of their prefered one is the haha email (read: http://www.sexyfun.net , and NO! IT'S NOT A PORN SITE). Emails to his connection provider didn't result in any action but this originating X-IP could be faked anyway.
So, watch your asses guy's!!!!

This is the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm worm
There is a 1 in 20 chance that on October 16th of any year, the worm will recursively delete all files and folders on the C drive:
The unique thing is this worm has it's own smtp server
More info at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html
Have you heard of the Code Red worm? It's so cool. Attacked all MS IIS servers which had a hole and directed all traffic to go to president bush's website at whitehouse.gov. The people at whitehouse managed to avoid the attack beacuse of a bug in the worm it checked for connection to whitehouse.gov so they redirected the website to some IP address. Therefore when the worm checked for a connection it couldn't connect and hence wasn't effective.
The really ironic thing about this worm is that Microsoft released a patch for the hole about a month back and even MS didn't patch some of their own servers!! and the worm infected it.
