Subject: Apparent Hoax Warning of Government-wide Tracking of Email
OPDIV Senior ISSOs:
It has come to our attention that messages similar to the one below have
been electronically circulating in the Department of Health and Human
Services. I have checked with sources outside the Department (including
with one of the supposed "originators") and we have been unable to verify
the validity of the message, i.e., that the US Government will be
electronically "tracking all emails to and from Government employee's
inboxes..." on April 2 or any other day.
Therefore, please advise OPDIV staff receiving such messages that they
should be considered hoaxes and not forwarded further.
Thank you for your assistance.

Thought you might be interested in this if you haven't seen it already.
I've spoken to a reliable source, how reliable you may ask? Well she's on
the committee that will be conducting a survey for the United States
Government on April 2. People think it's a hoax because it's the day after
"April Fools Day" but it isn't. On April 2nd the Government will be
tracking all emails to and from "Government employee's" inboxes to see just
how much of "Uncle Sam's time" is spent on email and not working.
So please if on no other day, if you're a government employee limit your
email to work-related emails. If you have a friend, family member etc..
don't send them any emails on this day. More tracking days could follow but
as of right now, April 2nd is the only day scheduled as of now.
