A little boy from Glasgow wanted £100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened .
So he decided to write a letter to God requesting the money.
The Royal Mail received the letter addressed simply to God, so they decided to forward it to Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, hoping to deter the PM from carrying out his plans to part-privatise the mail service.
Gordon Brown was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy £5 with a wee letter saying 'From God'. The Prime Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
Indeed, the wee boy was delighted with money and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:
'Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through the Prime Minister of Britain and that arsehole took £95.00 in taxes....'
