"Thank you for writing the Center for Disease Control. Yesterday we sent a number of letters in response to concerns about flu season. Unfortunately, as you may have heard, these letters were infected with anthrax. Truly, this was a disappointing and ironic mistake on our behalf and we sincerely apologize for the error.

Sincerely,
Your friends at the CDC."

Unfortunately, this metaphor is really, really, bad. You can't attach anthrax to a letter by mistake. However, it is pretty easy to hit "reply all" to an email by mistake.

That being said, it is certainly a facepalm moment, and a pretty rookie mistake.

Fortunately, it's not a metaphor. It's just a joke about irony.
