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
lasting 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
