   Dear Revenue Canada,   
      
   Enclosed and attached, you will find my 2011 tax return showing that I owe   
   $3,407.00 in taxes.   
      
   Please also note the attached article from the Toronto Globe and Mail; dated   
   12 November,   
   wherein you will see the Canadian Department of National Defense is paying   
   $171.50 per hammer,   
   and Fisheries and Oceans Canada has paid $600.00 per toilet seat, for its   
   icebreakers.   
      
   As payment, I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6)   
   hammers valued @   
   $1,029), which I secured at Canadian Tire, bringing my total remittance to   
   $3,429.00.   
      
   Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to next year's tax bill or a roll of   
   toilet paper.   
      
   It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to   
   paying it again next   
   year.   
      
   God Bless Canada !   
      
   Sincerely,   
   A Cape Bretoner
