Master DeFlorio,
I wish to offer my congratulations to you on your new position. It heartens me to see a young man so taken with the duties of his new appointment. It is also heartening to see that the Ministry takes the time to train their recruits in the standard protocols and processes of "Tax Collection", or robbery, as we so fondly refer to it in Wintermoor. I, myself am a stickler for protocol, and I would dear love to see firsthand the effective manner in which this new taxman collects his coveted taxes. In fact, I look forward to it very much!
I have the greatest confidence that the Minister has seen fit to make special note of the current status of the KSS tax accounts in the ledgers. If you have not had access to these entries, you should note that the balance paid to date is approximately zero gold. In our reckoning, the debits balance to the thin copper, leaving only the credit for return we have filed recently, and regretfully I am forced to report, the balance owed is past the 120 day mark. For more information on this, please refer to the statements prepared by Initiate Otto this spring. These were submitted on-time and with due dilligence. I am certain the Minister will get around to this at some time, for certainly his duties seem to keep him busy.
Of course, the Minister persists in sending letters marked with red ink, and we greatly appreciate this, for kindling is scarce in the northern mountain valleys.
But I digress.
Aside from the KSS corporate accounts, I look forward to discussing my personal tax returns with you, personally.
Respectfully,
