Apart from the disclaimer there is no body text. If you do as the disclaimer says and run attached Word document (CIH Delivery Note 0051037484.doc) through an anti-virus product then it will appear to clean, but it actually contains this malicious macro [pastebin] which downloads a component from:

http://www.tschoetz.de/122/091.exe

This is saved as %TEMP%\stoiki86.exe. There are usually two or three different download locations, but they will all lead to the the same binary which in this case has a detection rate of 5/56.

Various automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] show traffic to the following IPs:

91.242.163.70 (OOO Sysmedia, Russia)
37.139.47.81 (Comfortel Ltd / Pirix, Russia)
72.167.62.27 (GoDaddy, US)
212.227.89.182 (1&1, Germany)
46.228.193.201 (Aqua Networks Ltd, Germany)
46.101.49.125 (Digital Ocean Inc, Netherlands)
198.245.70.182 (Deniz Toprak / B2 Net Solutions Inc, US)
95.211.184.249 (Leaseweb, Netherlands)

According to this Malwr report it also drops another version of the downloader [VT 4/57] and a malicious DLL which will almost definitely be Dridex [VT 2/57].
