It was more than likely a spoofed email carrying a windows based virus. 
  I assure you, Vernard is unlikely to have an infected windows computer.

Basically, a windows computer get's infected by a virus.  The virus then

email out to unsuspecting people with a spoofed From: email address as well.

You may thank Bill Gates..
