I almost opened it because mine says a family member in hong kong sent it to me and i happen to have family in hong kong so i was almost caught!!!

It's malware. "Fun.exe" is part of the mass mailing worm W32.Israz.B which installs itself as a process once executed. To remove it, kill the process and remove the registry entry. Also scan with your Antivirus software after that.

This is more then likely from someone you know or more importantly who knows you and has your email address in the address book. The person is infected with the virus and it is spoofing it's from address.
