+This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and
+intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they

+transmission, please delete it immediately.

+Obviously, I am the idiot who sent it to you by mistake. Furthermore,
+there is no way I can force you to delete it. Worse, by the time you
+have reached this disclaimer you have all ready read the document.
+Telling you to forget it would seem absurd. In any event, I have no
+legal right to force you to take any action upon this email anyway.
+
+This entire disclaimer is just a waste of everyone's time and
+bandwidth. Therefore, let us just forget the whole thing and enjoy a
+cold beer instead.
