I think there are basically 10 security principals that you can use.
Other than that you may want to be more specific about particular
threats. There is usually a new security threat from Microsoft that is
not yet patched and you may want to use that opportunity to describe
workarounds and opportunities to avoid being infected like they usually
recommend. http://isc.sans.org/ usually says these recommendations again
if you would rather not read Microsoft's advisories.

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?
