<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Procurement was made aware of an issue with the Amazon punchout late 
    yesterday.  Upon consultation with Amazon, it appears that there is a 
    larger national outage and this is not specific to UMBC.  If you attempt
     to use Amazon in PAW, and it gives you an error, please try your order 
    again letter. </p>
    <p>As soon as Procurement is aware that this issue has been resolved, another message will be sent.  Thank you for your patience.</p>
