Dear Internal Revenue Service:

Enclosed you will find my 2005 tax return showing that I owe
$3,407.00 in taxes. Please note the attached article from
the USA Today newspaper; dated 12 November, wherein you will
see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying $171.50
per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.

I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued [at] $2,400)
and six (6) hammers valued [at] $1,029), which I secured at
Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00.
Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential
Election Fund," as noted on my return. You can do this
inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5" Phillips Head
screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper
detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head
Screws). One screw is enclosed for your convenience.

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I
look forward to paying it again next year.

Sincerely,
A Satisfied Taxpayer
