This Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro-enabled workbook contains an Auto_Open macro that attempts to download a payload from two distinct URLs. The document body contains obfuscated strings that, when reconstructed, reveal these URLs. The presence of an 'enable lure' heuristic indicates the document likely prompts the user to enable macros, a common tactic for initial execution.
