My all-time favorite stupid email disclaimer is this:

"This e-mail message and any attachments are confidential and may be
privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify XXX,
Inc. immediately by replying to this message and destroy all copies of
this message including all attachments. Also, please DISREGARD this mail
if you received it WITHOUT this disclaimer since that would mean it was
not legitimately sent from the XXX mail server. Thank you."

If you think it's hard to notify by deleting, try following the
instructions to disregard that _aren't_there_. ;-)
