It's an Excel file, yes. This is a free viewer for that - http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/xlviewer.aspx

Is it a legitimate message though? Because it could be a virus. You're ok if you don't have Excel on your computer. Might be a good idea running a virus scan, unless it is a genuine e-mail you've been sent of course.

Ive scanned it through hotmail and it said there is no virus on it.
