TAXING LETTERS

 I`m sorry I don`t have time to post the party photos today as I`m behind schedule and have much to do today !

These extracts are purportedly from genuine letters to the Inland Revinue:

`Please send me a claim form as I have had a baby.  I had one before, but it got dirty and I burnt it.`

` I recieved your IT form , but had to go into hospital an hour afterwards.`

`  I have not been living with my husband for several years and have much pleasure in enclosing his last will and testament.`

From a poultry keeper: `I hereby appeal on the grounds that your estimate is based on chickens counted before they are hatched.`

`Please correct this assessment . I have not worked for the past three months as I have broken my leg.  Hoping you will do the same.`

`My husband died on November 3. Is there any post-war credit still due as I understand a person has to be dead before they can claim any benefit ?`

` I have to inform you that my mother-in-law passed away after recieving your form on November 22.  Thank you.`

` I cannot pay the full amount at the moment as my husband is in hospital. As soon as I can, I will send on the remains.`

` Re your request for P45 for new employee.  You already have it, and he isn`t leaving here but coming, so we haven`t got it.`

` I am a vermin destroyer but have not earned anything for a month. I shall be glad to call on you at anytime`

` I am writing to inform you that I am now married.  I realise I should have done so eight months ago, but wasn`t aware that I had to.`
