To:       All National Center Employees

From:     Bureau Security Manager

Subject:  Chain Letters

During the past week, our office received numerous complaints that chain 
letters were being sent to employees at the National Center.  The 
letters were sent through the U.S. Geological Survey internal mail 
system using either a U.S. Government Messenger Envelope, Optional Form 
No. 65-B, or a blue Special Attention Mail envelope.  Not only are these 
letters very disturbing to the persons receiving them, the Departmental 
Manual, Part 382, Sections 2.4A and 2.7A(2), prohibits the use of 
bureau/office mail services for personal use.  

If you receive a chain letter, you should immediately notify Kathi Evans 
on extension 4429 or by electronic mail (kkevans@usgs.gov).
