London, 11th November 2000

To the citizens of the United States of America,

Following your failure to elect either a half decent candidate or
man-monkey as President of the USA to govern yourselves and, by
extension, the free world, we hereby give notice of the revocation of
your independence. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume
a monarch's duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, please comply
with the following acts:

     1. Look up "revoke" in a dictionary
     2. Learn at least the first 4 lines of "God Save the Queen"
     3. Start referring to "soccer" as football
     4. Declare war on Quebec

Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly
to ensure the acquisiton of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day!
