I recieved this in my email box today, does anyone know if this if real?
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 it in a strong plastic bag or
container and call the
police immediately. The “gift” is one you definitely
do not want to open.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW OR CARE ABOUT
