Klingerman Virus
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 remaining 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. |
