email defamation

[chickenwing]

What is the name of your state? VA I have a copy of an email that someone gave me a copy of from an unknown person who emailed my boss and told my boss that I was stealing things from the company. This is of course not true. What can I do? Can i sue this person if all i have is an email address or how can i find out who it is?

does your boss believe the email?

is the email from a web based site like yahoo or hotmail?
