can't delete junk mail

I have one piece of (filthy) junk mail that won't delete, no matter what I do. I keep marking it as unread, then putting it in Trash, then emptying the Trash. But Voila! it keeps coming back. How do I get rid of this???

You might need to quit Mail and reopen it to complete the process.
