We have until 2049 before the relativistic missiles obliterate the Earth.

Or perhaps we'll get an "unable to deliver" error.

I imagine the response will be something like this:

Dear Sir,

I am Chief Accountant with the National Antimatter Splork (what you know as Gliece 581c) PLC (S/am) and member of 5 MAN Contract Executive Review Panel (comprising 2 Snr.Staff of CBN and 3 Snr,Staff Of (S/am) set up by present Civilian Regime of President Splatch. So far we have come across a surplus of the sum of US$27T.(Twenty-seven Trillion Dollars)which was as a result of deliberate over-invoicing of certain contracts awarded by Planetary Contract Award Committee of the cooperation.

The last installments due has been paid to the various Contractors, while the said surplus still floats in our Splud Bank waiting Off-planet remittance which we want to carry out right now. As civil servants we not allowed operate foreign account, therefore seek your assistance in providing enabling Bank Account where the Fund would be lodged. 25% of the total Sum is for you 5% for expenses during transaction, and 70% for my colleagues and me.

etc.

They're going to get really sick of this o_o, except for the one guy on Gliese 581 d who will find he won the Irish lottery.
I will admit to actually having given a short message for this. I figured there would be a bit of a coolness factor in 20 years to think that something I wrote was passing through the Gliese 581 system at light speed.

As an alternative to the relativistic missiles...
