Intern Problems

As part of my job, I do FedEx mailings of things like certificates and books for students. These things get sent all over the world. As such, I see some names of recipients that seem a little funky. Most of the time, it's pretty cool to see big flowy Spanish names and Thai names that sound like sneezes. Today, though, things got dicey. I just got an email from my boss asking me to mail a gift item. Should be easy, right? The intended recipient's first name is Shat. I seriously almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read that email. But I need some help! Do I ask my boss if it's a typo and make things REALLY awkward? Do I hope the guy is actually named Shat, or is named something else but has a good sense of humor? What if Shat (Mr. Shat?) is a very important client?? My future in DC business is quite literally getting sent to Shat. HELP!!!!!
