| A suspected anthrax letter sent to Chile bore a Swiss postmark but may have been mailed from New York. Dr. Antonio Banfi, a pediatrician in Santiago, Chile, received the letter -- with a Swiss postmark and a Florida return address -- two weeks ago. Swiss Federal Police said the letter was part of a large mailing sent on behalf of a Florida company by the New York branch of the Swiss Post Office. Swiss Post International Inc. provides worldwide bulk mailing services for companies. Under U.S. rules, letters sent within the country by international post offices must carry a foreign postmark. The letter sent to Chile bore a postmark from Zurich, Switzerland, but had no date -- typical of letters sent by the New York branch. Officials at Mosby Inc., a publisher of medical journals, told the Orlando Sentinel that whoever mailed the letter listed their headquarters as the return address. Mosby is one of three publishing imprints owned by Harcourt Health Sciences. |
