請忽視(從"Email Spoofer")用我的名字寄出來的的電子郵件(見附圖 & P.S.) 

Please ignore any email using my name (sent from an "Email Spoofer"; see P.S. and the attached picture)

P.S. 
"Email Spoofing":
Malware such as Klez and Sober and many more modern examples often search for email addresses within the computer they have infected, and use those addresses both as targets for email, 
but also to create credible forged "From fields" in the emails that they send, so that these emails are more likely to be opened. 

For example:
Alice is sent an infected email which she opens, running the worm code.
The worm code searches Alice's email address book and finds the addresses of Bob and Charlie.

From Alice's computer, the worm sends an infected email to Bob, but forged to appear to have been sent by Charlie.

In this case, even if Bob's system detects the incoming mail as containing malware, he sees the source as being Charlie, even though it really came from Alice's computer; meanwhile Alice remains unaware that her computer has been infected with a worm.
