Throw it in the recycle bin.  It's certainly bulk-mailed, which means
that if you did get it returned to sender, the post office would return
the cover at most, and throw the rest into the trash.

Absolutely not.

From:  ``A Consumer's Guide to Postal Crime Prevention'', official
United States Postal Service document:

    A cagey company sends you a _gift_ in the mail---a tie, a good luck
    charm, a key chain.  You didn't order it.  What do you do?

    If you're the kind of person they are looking for, you will feel
    guilty and pay for it.  But you don't have to.
       
    DO ONE OF THESE INSTEAD:

    * If you have not opened the package, make it ``Return to Sender.''
      The Postal Service will send it back at no charge to you.

    * If you open the package and don't like what you find, throw it
      away. 

    * If you open the package and like what you find, keep it---FREE.
      This is a rare instance when finders-keepers applies
      unconditionally. 

    Whatever you do, don't pay for it---and don;t get conned if the
    sender follows up with a phone call or visit.  By law, unsolicited
    merchandise is yours to keep.

If you want a copy of thw work cited, you can get it at your local post
office, or write to: Crime Prevention Coalition, POB 6600, Rockville MD
20850-0635.
