As an electrician, I can not emphasize enough how bad an idea this is. Under no circumstances should this ever be done. Ever.
If you want a ground connection (which IS a good idea, for safety reasons), do it the proper way. One way to do it is to hammer a metal rod into the ground (about 1 to 1.5 m will do) and use it for ground.
In any case, I recommend getting someone qualified to do it.
