    BE AWARE!
This email links to an innocuous looking Google Drive (below), with an application form and "application requirements" file. The requirements file is actually a poisoned .scr file that, on a windows system could install trojan software.

Anyone who opened the Application file should contact their tech support for assistance in determining whether they have been compromised.
