MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro. ClamAV identified the file as Doc.Trojan.Thus-8. The presence of a Document_Open macro indicates an attempt to automatically execute malicious code when the document is opened, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The document body content appears to be unrelated biographical information, suggesting it is a lure.
