To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

They don’t even use the grammar rule “Please excuse my dear Aunt Fanny.”
Read the story in all of its hilarious glory!

As an aside, I’m sure Brits would use a nice farmhouse loaf for this kind of thing.
