At least 30 letters were reported in seven cities, including Dallas and Irving. A credible source told News 8 the letters originated in Amarillo.
The FBI and Dallas police are trying to investigate if the mailings are more than just a coincidence.
Dallas Fire-Rescue got the first call about 10:15 a.m. Tuesday from the offices of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on Bryan Street downtown. A worker there opened up a envelope addressed to the FDIC and came in contact with a white powder inside.
A hazardous materials team isolated the powder and the worker, but the substance turned out to be calcium carbonate, a mineral found naturally in chalk, limestone and marble, and an ingredient in antacid products.
One source told News 8 the powder came with a threatening letter that read: "Whoever opened this will be dead within ten days."
The powder and envelope were turned over to Dallas police.
About an hour later, there was a similar situation at the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision on Highway 114 in Irving. A mailroom worker opened an envelope containing a white powder, also later proven to be harmless.
That envelope also contained a letter, all of which was submitted to the FBI.
FBI spokesman Mark White said its tests on the powder received in Irving and Dallas have all proven negative, but additional tests will be conducted.
White urged anyone with information about the source of the letters to contact your local FBI Office, the U.S. Postal Inspectors Office, or your local law enforcement agency.
The Associated Press reports that similar letters were received at Chase bank facilities in or near Atlanta; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Denver; Newark, N.J.; New York City; Oklahoma City; and Washington. An official said all appeared to be from the same source, and were mailed from Texas.
