Received the following e-mail from my sister:-
URGENT!!! PLEASE CIRCULATE to your friends, family and contacts .
In the coming days, DO NOT open any message with an attachment called: Black in the White House, regardless of who sent it to you . It is a virus that opens an Olympics torch that burns the whole hard disk C of your computer . This virus comes from a known person who you have in your list .
Directions: You should send this message to all of your contacts . It is better to receive this e-mail 25 times than to receive the virus and open it . If you receive a message called Black in the White House even if sent by a friend, do not open, and shut down your machine immediately . It is the worst virus announced by CNN . This new virus has been discovered recently it has been classified by Microsoft as the virus most destructive ever .
This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . There is no repair yet for this kind of virus . This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the hard disk, where vital information function is stored .
Urgent warning.

Dear oh dear!!!
Compare with this which was going the rounds in 2001
WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!! A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title: "A Card for You".
As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York , according to news broadcast by CNN.
This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You. " As soon as you get the mail, delete it !! Please pass this mail to all of your friends.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All.
Just goes to show that hoaxers are not well endowed in the originality department
Perhaps you should e-mail this to your sister, preferably 25 times
