I got one also. I didn't open it because it did not have any sick jokes or
anything of the sort. So I knew it was likely not really from Roger.

Good rule - don't open any attachment unless you know who it is from AND are
expecting it. If you get something from someone you know, but were not
expecting an attachment, email them back with a fresh email and ask what the
attachment is.
