Possible virus warning
Snopes virus alert
Just in time for Christmas mailings, there is a new virus circulating in the UPS delivery system. It applies to Fed Ex as well. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. Note that the word packet is misspelled on this line (paket). It will say that they were unable to deliver a package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DO NOT TRY TO PRINT THIS! IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC buddies. This virus has supposedly already caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days. Snopes confirms that it is real:

yes it is real .. removed it from a couple pc`s.
People open attachments and POW. UPS does not send attachments, nor does any respectable business.
malwarebytes.org has a trial program you can use to remove it.

It's coming in everywhere, on my home and work PC. I delete it once and
it shows up again a few hours later or next day. So it is a nuisance.
