Dear Mr. Watsky:
 
I'd suggest that you spend a few seconds investigating before forwarding junk like this.  Take a look at http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp for the REAL story on this HOAX.

PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE
    
Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it! If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured"or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment. This e-mail is being distributed throughout countries around the globe, but mainly in the
US and Israel.
    
  Be considerate & send this warning to your e-mail contacts.
    
You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached filed called 
"Invitation" regardless of who sent it.  It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which "burns" the whole hard disc C of your computer. 
    
These messages will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts.  It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. 

If you receive a mail called "invitation", though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately.  This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.   This virus was discovered by McAfee August 1st and there is no repair yet.  This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where vital information is kept.
