Its a Powerpoint file. If you don't have a copy of powerpoint you could ask your client to export it as a jpg for you. I havent used PP for a while and can't remember if there are any other options for saving it to. By getting your client to export it at least you will know that the file is correct as I seem to remember that sometimes elements could drop out if the file wasn't formatted correctly. I'll have a look and see if I still have pp installed.
It can be exported as Tiff and pdf so get them to send it to you in that format.

Used an online service like this one to do something similar before, may be worth a try?

you should be able to download PowerPoint viewer and open it that way. Microsoft have these viewer applications for just this purpose.
