I have only seen a single copy of this, it is likely that the company name will vary from email to email. The attachment due #46691848.doc has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/56. According to this Malwr report it downloads a file from:

mgmt.speraelectric.info/flows/login.php

Right at the moment this is just a copy of the Windows Calculator and is harmless, but the payload could be switched later to something more malicious, probably Locky ransomware or the Dridex banking trojan.
