Laundry tax rebate

I've been fowarded an email which states that you can apply to claim back some tax money for laundering your Uniform.

"This is good gen have posted mine off today.
It was researched by an army Major in Kandahar and they paid out.
They have had to open an office just to deal with these cases.
When they pay out they will change your tax code to reflect it.


Just complete the date, your national insurance number and the date you joined up at
(without looking at your i.d card, for the smallies!)

Then pass it on to anybody you know."

With the following form attached

"Your address
HM Revenue & Customs
South Wales Area Service
Ty Glas
Llanishen
Cardiff
CF14 5YA
02 July 2007

NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER:

MILITARY LAUNDRY EXPENSES TAX RELIEF

Sir,

I have been employed as a member of the regular armed forces (RAF) since (insert date you joined up) and am obliged to launder the uniforms supplied to me by the MOD at my own expense. I therefore wish to claim for the agreed laundry allowance at the rate of £140 per annum for the last six years under the statute of limitations.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.


Yours faithfully,



Anon."

Not sure if it's a spoof or it's for real so i thought I'd put it on here, anyone know if it's a wind up?
