A popular email hoax is making it's way around the net yet again, dear
subscribers. What follows in an excerpt from an official response from the
United States Postal Service (http://www.usps.gov) regarding the so called
email surcharge:
"A completely false rumor concerning the U.S. Postal Service is being
circulated over the Internet via e-mail.
The e-mail message claims that a "Congressman Schnell" has introduced "Bill
602P" to allow the federal government to impose a 5-cent surcharge on each
e-mail message delivered over the Internet. The money would be collected by
Internet Service Providers and then turned over to the Postal Service.
No such proposed legislation exists. In fact, no "Congressman Schnell"
exists."
