The attachment is Invoice_20130912.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable Invoice_20130912.exe (note the date is encoded into the filename). The detection rate at VirusTotal is just 3/46.

Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] [4] shows that amongst other things, the file attempt to communicate with the domain leightongriffiths.com on an apparently compromised server at 64.50.166.122 which has been seen before.

Given that there are now several domains serving malware on the same server [1] [2] it is probably safe to assume that all the domains on that server are malicious and should be blocked.
