Letter from Saddam

A very dear friend of mine who lives in Woodstock GA, but works in Forsythe County, called me from her cell phone in a panic about 3 this afternoon. She was whispering, so I asked her what was wrong. She informed me that her entire building, Smart Corporation, had been placed under quarrantine. She proceeded to tell me that someone had placed a letter in the lobby entrance that was wrapped in plastic stating it was from Saddam Hussein. She said that there were "guys in bubble suits" walking around everywhere. Several units of the "bomb squad". I can only imagine the chaos. She, along with her co-workers were allowed to leave about 8:30 tonight. She said that before they left, the FBI, an agent with Homeland Security, and CIA informed them to go home and stay at home. And that they are to report to work at 7 in the morning. The company does not open for business until 9, employees are not required to be there until 8:30 A.M. I told her that she was probably going to be questioned tomorrow, along with everybody else.

I am sure it was a prank. This has not made national news as of yet. So, hopefully this was just a sick prank and my friend and her co-workers have nothing to fear.

WOW! What a scary thing to go through. I hope it was a prank. Goes to show, there are some very sick people in this world!

Man, that's freaky. It is probably just a sick prank though. Sickos feed off of this stuff and get a kick out of scaring people for no reason. What kind of business does she work at?

Do keep us posted as to what goes on tomorrow though.

Hmmm...the weird thing is that they told them to go home and stay home.

Don't worry too much sunny shine...I'm sure your friend will be fine.

Smart Corporation is a collections firm.

I'd say its a hoax as well...someone beging for attention and sadly will be dealt with since all they cause is terror in the eyes of people on our own soil.

Amazing!@ Just seeing a box addressed by Saddam Hussein is scary enough!

I think as Rob said it is a hoax.

It probably was a hoax and a payback from someone that may have felt harassed by the collections firm. What a terrible thing to do!

That is terrible. Anyone who would do such a thing is not real sane upstairs. I bet that was frightening for your friend.
