The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malware. The document body presents a permit application form to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of VBA macros and the Document_Open trigger strongly suggest malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.
