There is an attachment Label_FOHWXR30ZZ0LNB1.zip which in turn contains an executable Label_368_09112013_JDSL.exe which has a very low detection rate at VirusTotal of just 2/47. Automated analysis [1] [2] [3] shows an attempted connection to a hijacked domain drippingstrawberry.com hosted on 64.50.166.122 (LunarPages, US) with quite a lot of other hijacked domains. Blocking or monitoring traffic to this IP could stop the infection

URLquery shows the following domains are distributing malware on that server:
cardiffpower.com
celebrategoodtimes.com
drippingstrawberry.com

thisisyourwife.co.uk

For the record, the following domains appear to be on that server. They all look legitimate, but some others may be hijacked (and others may not be). Do with this list what you will:
