The one saying you've got a pay-rise
On a more serious note, i have run a letter frequency program on a dictionary and come out with the count for the various letters
It should be noted that dictionaries vary and does not reflect the frequency in written english language (where words may be used many times or not at all). It only reflects frequency in my particular dictionary (199686 words)
However it may give some idea
The most common is E then S,I,A
The least common is Q, then J,Z,X
