Many years ago I was working for a compnay on the north side of Chicago. The company had been going through lots of RIFs...some very difficult ones...long service employees.

I had a new secretary who was very eager and wanted to demonstrate her skills.

One day I took a letter from my "secret" drawer and asked her to retype it with a different date. It was a letter I would be giving to an employee who was to be let go. He had started with the company before I was born.

The next day it occured to me she had never given me the letter back. I asked her about it. "Oh, I went ahead and mailed it!"

I learned it is possible to unsend a letter...if it hasn't been delivered (Too Late!) I knew the guy was out of town on vacation. I remember sitting outside his house wondering if I was up for a Federal Offense...of going into his mail box.

I didn't. But I can empathize with the folks at UNC!
