Dear Mr Addison , I am writing to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication , and to answer some of the points you raise.
I will address them as ever in order.
Firstly I must take issue with your description of our last communication as a "begging letter",it might perhaps be more properly referred to as a "Tax demand".This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.
Secondly ,your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letter box and onto the doormat " has been duly noted .However ,whilst naturally I have not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "Pauper Councils ,Lombardy Pirate banking houses and puissant gas mongerers " might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies "is at best a little ill advised .In common with my own organisation ,it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin or come to that a so'dding charity".More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain ,with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.Which, brings me to my next point . Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker blighted toppling folly that is the Public Services " a moments rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damn party" yourself.The estimates you provide for the Chancellors disbursement of the funds levied by taxation ,whilst colourful,are ,in fairness a little off the mark .Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "Junketts for Bunterish lickspittles " and "Dancing Whore's "Whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to ,for example ,"that box ticking facade of a university system"
In conclusion a few technical points regarding some of your direct queries .
1,The reason we don't "just write Muggins on the envelope " has to do with the vagaries of the postal system
2,You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrow from the bones of those with nothing else to give " has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant ,the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable .
I trust this has helped .In the meantime ,whilst I would not in any way wish to influence you decision one way or the other .I should point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India " you would still owe us the money .
Please forward it by friday .
Yours Sincerely
H Lee
