Document Review Unknown sender Email

Well I got the email with File I mentioned - of course I didn't open it.

He wants me to look it over and send it back to him --- should I?

Do you know this person? If not, delete it. It's bad business protocol if it's a legitimate business associate or coworker to have such a vague email (no email company letterheads), no particulars about you (the recipient of the email): name, address, phone number, MOST IMPORTANTLY: no particulars about him (the sender of the email): name, address, phone number.

If it really is authentic and real, he'll resend the email with some verifiable details.

Circulate this guys name in your office. Maybe someone in management or sales or whatever can recognize his name or email address. Other then that? Delete it pronto.

Your thread title says unknown sender. I'd either send it to the IT dept (that's standard process in our company) or delete it (if it came to my personal email).

Yeah I was trying to find somewhere in the IT department to send it -- one of the negatives of a large company is trying to find where/who to send such stuff to - the person is not anyone I know and is not listed in the company directory.

I would call him if he was listed.

There isn't a catchall IT email? At my firm, we have a Help Desk email account that goes to all of the associates in the IT department. The first one to reply is the one to handle it.

there are so many depending on your issue - is it password related, is it a particular system, is it the mainframe - etc.

Yeah nothing is simple where I work
