Re: Case Number: xxxxxx-xx

Tax Year 12/1999

Gentleman:

You sent me your Collection Fee Notice on 04/05/2007 (copy attached). 

This notice is premature in that the amount is in dispute and in the administrative process.  I filed my protest against the proposed assessment on time.  Under the due process clause of the state and federal constitution, I am entitled to hearing and an opportunity to present my case. 

I do not owe this money and the assessment has not been made. 

This notice is invalid and therefore illegal.  Sending me notices that are not allowed by law is a harassment technique attempting to intimidate me.  DOR is a bully agency and someday will face court action.

Respectfully,

Gary Patriot
