It is fairly unlikely that Zahra Rahimi ([email protected]) is going to receive the message anyway as their email address is almost certainly fake unless the domain was registered by a very confident person who has continually misheard 'wealth management' throughout their adult life.
The attachment appears to be some sort of assembled executable, so I'm not sure how it would work as a .download file.
Either way, mark this email source and subject as spam and take care with all finance related emails, especially at work.
