Dear Mrs. Melton:
Michelle and I want to apologize for the death of your husband MELTON,SSG JOSH,
who was accidentally killed by Afghani agrarian reformers know as
Taliban. Their carelessness in leaving an exploding device in a corn
field they were clearing is unfortunate. MELTON's,SSG JOSH unit
should not have been in the area. The brigade commander has now
been ordered to move forces to Qaeda, where our real enemy is known to
be located. Once again, please except your nation's apology for
not finding a capable Commander in Chief sooner.
Barry Lolo Soetero Obama ,
Supreme Him of the United States
