In this case there is an attachment PAYMENT RECEIPT 30-04-2013-GBK-75.zip which contains a malicious executable crafted to look like a Word document called Payment reeceipt.exe . This executable has a so-so VirusTotal detection rate of 29/46.
The malware has the following checksums according to Comodo CAMAS:
| Size | 371712 |
| MD5 | 0a3723483e06dcf7e51073972b9d1ef3 |

Anubis has a pretty detailed report of what this malware does. In particular, you might want to monitor network traffic to and from 78.139.187.6 (Caucasus Online, Georgia) which seems to be a C&C server. This IP has also been seen here. There are several other IPs involved, but these look like DSL subscribers with dynamic address, so probably a part of a botnet. For the sake of completeness they are:
64.231.249.250
69.183.226.70
78.139.187.6
81.133.189.232
123.237.234.67
