This may recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it. Waste no time with the existing file - it will have no usable content. > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: > The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended solely > for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged > information and may be legally protected from disclosure.
