Congratulations.... You've won a prize. (Trouble is I've already drank it, but I can burp in your general direction!)

E: Open the attachment, just to piss off the IT department. Deny all knowledge of it after the event, going to the extent of blaming another colleague for opening it on your behald, saying they wanted to extort money from the company by developing huge security holes which a sub-contracting company (affiliated with the colleague). Be rewarded for your hard work in tracking down sabotage within the company. Be promoted. Continue this until you own the company. With an arsenalat your disposal, take over the world. Rule with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Have a cigar.

Yes....

Our luser today thought that option D was the best approach to take. Luckily I sent the PFY around just to check that everything was ok and he spotted it. I will be heading out with the LART a little later to deal with the luser.
