You're Fired

Dear God
I regret to inform you
that in the light of recent events
and with immediate effect
your services are no longer required
by our species

As you are aware
these are difficult times
and there have been
over a substantial period
of several thousand years
repeated instances when
you have shown significant failings
in exercising your duties
as omnipotent ruler

After careful consideration
we conclude there has been
gross misconduct on your part
in a number of key areas
including famine,
disease and natural disasters

Despite previous verbal
and written warnings
regarding your behavior
there have been no indications
that you will improve your
performance for the future

We have looked carefully
at all the relevant factors
when arriving at our
decision but are unable to
find mitigating circumstances
which might change
this outcome

Please remove all
personal belongings
from the planet
within 24 hours
of receipt of this letter

We wish you every success
in finding a new position

Yours sincerely
The Human Race
