Public health investigators were contacting Microsoft employees to determine who might have handled the letter, which contained pornographic material
Gov. Kenny Guinn confirmed the letter had been sent to the Microsoft Licensing Inc. office. He said Microsoft officials contacted health officials Wednesday.
Todd said the country health department and the FBI (news - web sites) were involved in the investigation, which began after one company employee got a returned letter that ``just didn't look right.''
The governor said Microsoft had sent a check in the letter to an unidentified vendor in Malaysia. The letter had been opened and returned to Microsoft, including the check. Pornographic material also was included. The contents appeared to have been moistened and dried, officials said.
Todd said the initial test on the letter's contents ``got a number of things growing, including bacillus, the genus to which anthrax belongs.'' He said that test produced results ``consistent with it being anthrax.''
The subsequent test was more specific to anthrax, but came back negative, officials said. The third test will use another approach to specifically look for anthrax, they said.
