Just in case this is real, thought you all should be waned. Do not open
any oversize blue envelopes that say from the Klingerman Foundation.

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 twenty-three
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.
