Dear Sir/Madam

PROGRESS PACKAGE S84*****/F

1. In Budget 2006, Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lee Hsien Loong announced the Progress Package (Providing Opportunities through Growth, Remaking Singapore for Success) to share part of the government's surpluses with Singaporeans.

2. Based on our records, you are eligible to receive a total of $700.00 for your Progress Package comprising:
- $600.00 of Growth Dividends
- $100.00 of the 40th Anniversary National Service (NS) Bonus

3. To receive your Progress Package, you must sign up at any ... (omitted)

SGD$700.00 for doing absolutely nothing, and for being what I am?

If the government is planning to use the most effective way to win peoples' hearts, which is through money, I guess they have succeeded.

The only problem I foresee is people who feel that they didn't get enough, and complain for more.

Please, people. The government is giving money for free. Please do not complain that they do not give enough, or that you deserve more, or that they have calculated wrongly and owe you more. Let's not be KS for once, shall we?
