I didn't open it, just deleted it instead, but I believe I probably did.

Anyone know if I have to pay income tax in Libya or here in the U.S (or both)?

I recognize this message!! It is a running joke in Deus Ex Human Revolution. When you hack computers in the game you encounter that exact mail even on incredibly top secret systems. I didn't get the PM on the forums though...
