Open Letter to IRS.org

Dear Spammer,

I am in my late seventies and the IRS has only once contacted me to give me back money.  They did it via an audit that nearly gave me a nervous breakdown. Actually, their intent was to extract more money from me by disallowing a deduction for an employment agency fee. I was able to prove it was legitimate.

During the course of the audit, they pointed out to me that I could receive a larger refund by filing a joint return with my estranged spouse. I replied that half of zero, is zero. Knowing my estranged spouse better than they did, I knew he would never sign a refund check unless the proceeds were entirely his. So the auditors and I parted on good terms and my return for that year remained unchanged.

Your email advising me of an alleged refund is comical. First of all, it is written in plain, if somewhat ungrammatical English, with at least one misspelled word. The Christmas greetings are ludicrous. Get real. Never has the I.R.S. wished me, or anyone else, I’d venture to guess, a Merry Christmas.

My purpose in posting this message is to prevent anyone who might be fooled by your attempt to gain personal information, from falling for your ruse.

My greeting to you, Spammer:  May your New Year bring you all that you deserve—jail, perhaps.
