Nothing much will come from it, though the sender (if there is a return address) may get a visit from the friendly neighborhood Postal Inspector.

If you want to see how efficient the postal inspectors CAN be, however, send an envelope full of talcum powder. (JK, DO NOT try this)
*shiver* I have a friend who works for the federal government in Washington -- please, pretty please I beg, no anthrax jokes p-l-e-a-s-e.

This letter had a return address label though the sender's last name was Jackson or Johnson - something very common. My address was on a label (but not bar coded) and the postage was a real, honest to goodness 39 cent stamp. I don't know whether the person honestly thought that if they did this they'd make a gazillion bucks, or what. It doesn't matter though, because I had a hunch that something wasn't quite right. The other thing that creeped me out was that when I searched it on Google, it came up 4 or 5 times as something you should really do before a Web site came up that said this is a hoax, don't go near it. If anyone reading this gets one in the mail or e-mail, RUN FAR AWAY.
