Dear Account User,

Sincerely,
Email Administrator.
Notes:
You should never click a link to a PDF without verifying that it is safe; it could be installing malware. In this case we scanned the PDF before opening it.
The attached link is a PDF document that opens with a link to a fake login site that looks like this:
