Even though the anthrax scare is mostly behind us, we will never be able to conduct business exactly the same as we did before Septermber 11, 2001.

Here are some excellent suggestions from the U.S. Postal Service:


What should make me suspect a piece of mail?

*  It's unexpected or from someone you don't know.

*  It's addressed to someone no longer at your address.

*  It's handwritten and has no return address or bears one that you can't confirm as legitimate.

*  It's lopsided or lumpy in appearance.

*  It's sealed with excessive amounts of tape.

*  It's marked with restrictive endorsements such as "Personal" or "Confidential"

*  It has excessive postage.


What should I do with a suspicious piece of mail?

*  Don't handle a letter or package that you suspect is contaminated.

*  Don't shake it, bump it, or sniff it.

*  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

*  Notify local law enforcement authorities.



Bonus Tip: 

If mailing letters and packages is an integral part of your business, make sure that correspondence from your company is always plainly marked and does not have
any of the characteristics listed above.  You always want correspondence from your company to be completely trusted by the postal service and your customers.
