Star Wars Fan Mail halted
10/26/01</CENTER>
Due to the recent heinous acts of anthrax being spread through the mail, Wizards Of The Coast has issued the following statement.
"Due to recent tragic events surrounding the transmission of anthrax via mailed letters, the Star Wars Fan Club, Lucasfilm Ltd., and George Lucas have temporarily suspended fan mail service. Based on corporate security considerations, none of the above will be handling or answering miscellaneous fan mail, and all such mail will be disposed of upon receipt. Once there is no longer a material threat, we hope to reinstate the service and will make an announcement at that time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your continued support."
