Attached to the message is an archive file CommercialForm.zip which in turn contains a malicious executable CommercialForm.exe which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 19/52. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] show that it downloads an encrypted file from [donotclick]desktopcrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Targ-1405USdp.enc although what that does is currently unclear.
