The sample is an RTF file that contains embedded OLE object data. Heuristics indicate that \objupdate forces OLE activation, suggesting that the document is designed to exploit this mechanism to execute embedded code. The presence of OLE object data strongly implies an attempt to leverage this functionality for malicious purposes, likely to download and execute a further stage.
