Rather than phish for a tip why not think of your own? Have your tip or
write up geared toward your organization.

Ie. Do you have Citrix server, give them tips on stuff related to your
citrix servers. Send them helpful URLS to malware hoaxs. Give the latest
in security news , on a level your users can understand. For instance
with the latest zero-day word exploit post something about it and how to
be on the lookout for stuff like this. Explain what a worm is and how
they work and ways to look for them.

Come up with something original.

Hello Everyone,

The most dreaded aspect of my job is coming up with a
"Security Tip" for our company internal newsletter
every week.  Each tip must be geared toward a general
audience of 3000+ people.
  So far I have done tips on strong passwords, doing
control-alt-del when leaving your desk, screensaver
passwords, protect laptop from theft (ie don't leave
in back seat of car, amazing how many do that...),
clean desk policy, backing up data, and dealing with
spam, spyware and phishing.  But I'm at my wit's end
to come up with more.
 Googling 'security tips' brings up a million sites,
but they all regurgitate the same basic ideas I just
mentioned.
Any suggestions?
