Dear Government,
Hey! You might not remember me, but I’m a total fan of yours! I voted for you in the last election and everything. Well, that’s not entirely true, I struck my ballot, but I took part in the system. Yay Democracy!
Anyway, I’m writing you with something of a concern. I know I haven’t written in a while, and it seems low to just be contacting you with a favor to ask, but here it goes.
I need money.
There, I said it, it’s out there. Please, before you shred and burn this letter, please hear me out.
I recently got my tax return information in the mail, and I think one of your people made an error, because according to all this paperwork, I’m not really /that/ poor. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m super poor, but it seems like I’m not poor /enough/ to get the refund I’ve been getting used to.
To be honest, I considered not filing this year, but then I heard about what you did to Jimmy Craige from down the road last year when he didn’t file. I’m not going to lie Government, I never suspected you to be the kind of person to ‘rape everything [Jimmy] owns’. Really, Dude, low.
Anyway, like I said, I need some cash. I’ve had things I had to buy this year and didn’t save as much as I’d like. A Car, tires for my car… The Dark Knight came out, I saw that like 10 times. So really, Government, any chance I can catch a break this year?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
