Friends,
Every now and again in life something unexpected happens that brightens your day. You find a five dollar bill in a coat pocket, the report on your latest physical shows that you’re in better shape than you had any right to expect, maybe the local menacing vagrant holds a door open for you. Me? I have apparently ordered tickets on Delta Air Lines [sic]:
Thanks for the purchase!
Booking number: ES8H3APD
You will find attached to this letter PASSENGER ITINERARY RECEIPT of your electronic ticket.

See you on board!
Best regards,Delta Air Lines
The sender of this message, shown as support@delta.com is actually somebody else whose address I won’t reproduce. Why? Because he’s too benevolent, of course. Attached to the email was a helpful Passenger Itinerary Receipt in the form of a ZIP file. Normally I would be suspicious and not open that file, but this is Delta Air Lines after all! Sure, I hadn’t even ordered these tickets, but aren’t you curious to know what exotic destination they’re sending me to? Besides, I have a booking number, don’t I?
What could possibly go wrong?
