I received this in my mailbox today, what should I do?

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship
with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country
has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of
800 billion USD. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be
most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, lobbyist for UBS, who (God willing)
will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a
former U.S. congressional leader and the architect of the PALIN /
McCain Financial Doctrine, you may know him as the leader of the
American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. As such, you can
be assured that this transaction is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the
funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds
in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under
surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a
reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the
funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund
account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission
for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond
with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to
protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson

Bin Laden Succeeds in Bankrupting America

Few people will remember the pledge that Osama Bin Forgetten made back in 2004 when he said the following in a transcript that appeared on Al Jazeera:

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

He said the mujahedeen fighters did the same thing to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, "using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers."

"We, alongside the mujahedeen, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat," bin Laden said.

He also said al Qaeda has found it "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."

"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations," bin Laden said.

Needless to say, Bin Laden has succeeded in his pledge. After spending nearly a trillion dollars to fight the phoney war on terrorism, America is on the verge of bankruptcy and Bin Laden is laughing hysterically while unable to contain his glee!!! The amazing thing about this is that America has actually been defeated by a small band of stone age, middle eastern religious zealots, living in primitive caves on a diet of goat milk and camels. Aside from the fact that this is the first time that the US has "been at war" with a tribal group since the Indian wars of the 1800's, one really has to be astounded at the stupidity, arrogance and utter incompetence of the people who claim to be protecting us from the terrorists and their utter defeat by a stone age tribe. What a bunch of blistering nincompoops!!!
