| Description | The chain letter reads as follows:
Subject: Very Serious Information!!!
This is an alert about a virus in the original sense of the word...one
that affects your body, not your hard drive.
There have been 23 confirmed cases of people attacked by the
Klingerman Virus, a virus that arrives in your real mail box, not your
e-mail in-box.
Someone has been mailing large blue envelopes, seemingly at random, to
people inside the US. On the front of the envelope in bold black
letters is printed, "A gift for you from the Klingerman Foundation." When
the envelopes are opened, there is a small sponge sealed in plastic. This
sponge carries what has come to be known as the Klingerman Virus, as public
health officials state this is a strain of virus they have not previously
encountered.
When asked for comment, Florida police Sergeant Stetson said, "We are
working with the CDC and the USPS, but have so far been unable to
track down the origins of these letters. The return addresses have all
been different, and we are certain a remailing service is being used, making
our jobs that much more difficult."
Those who have come in contact with the Klingerman Virus have been
hospitalized with severe dysentery. So far seven of the twentythree
victims have died. There is no legitimate Klingerman Foundation mailing
unsolicited gifts.If you receive an oversized blue envelope in the mail
marked,"A gift from the Klingerman foundation", DO NOT open it. Place the
envelope in a strong plastic bag or container, and call the police
immediately.
The "gift" inside is one you definitely do not want.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT.
