I dunno who it is, but that file is definitely a virus. (Or, more 
accurately, a trojan horse)  The .DOC part of the file is to make people 
(on Windows) think it's an MS Word document.  The .pif extension tells 
windows the file is actually a program to be run, not a word processing 
document to be looked at.  If you run it, it sends e-mail to everyone in 
your address book, with the same file attached.  It spreads itself in that 
manner.
