Please read the following. It applies to email from both FedEx and UPS:

================================================
A new virus circulating around is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT IT. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.

Snopes.com confirms that it is real:

Thank you for the heads-up on this. It is getting hard to keep up with all the crap coming through email these days. This is why I am leary of opening emails from folks sending me photos of thier items and why I created this forum.

Thanks again Michelle
