I would suggest giving tips on hoaxes from the various hoax-busters sites. These hoaxes can sometimes impact user's 
mailboxes and just propagate bad information. Also, give updates on the latest phishing and virus alerts (use the SANS 
OUCH mailings).

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?
