Snopes says this is for real.
New Virus (NO JOKE)

This is legitimate. Please pass this along to your friends.The newest virus circulating is
The UPS/FedEx/DHL Delivery Failure.You will receive an email from UPS/Fed Ex Service along with a packet number.
It will say that they were unable to deliver
A package sent to you on such-and-such a date.

It then asks you to print out
The invoice copy attached.

DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS.
IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators
At work and home.

This virus has caused Millions of dollars
In damage in the past few days.

NOTE: Snopes confirms that it is real.http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/ups.
