I, [NAME OF AUTHOR], am a licensed broker writing this letter in defense of [NAME OF ALLEGED OFFENDER], who will be appearing before your competent court for allegedly having committed the crime of evading tax assessment which is punishable under the federal laws with imprisonment of no more than ___ years and a fine of not more than 0.00 US dollars.

The reason that I am writing this letter is to express the confidence that I have in the goodness of the character of [NAME OF ALLEGED OFFENDER] as I have known him/her for over ___ years and working in the same company for ___ years. I can say with confidence that the allegations against him/her are not true as I have known the alleged offender as someone who files his/her taxes even before the due date. 

I know him/her to be a very responsible individual and professional. In fact, he/she has been consistently awarded as “Employee of the Year” for ___ consecutive years. Our department supervisors, as well as our co-workers, see him/her as a trustworthy person and someone who is not capable of committing a crime, especially with something that involves a duty toward this country considering also the fact that he/she is known to be very patriotic.

I am really concerned about his/her future and I strongly believe that there has been a confusion or miscalculation as to the tax payments he/she has made. 

Respectfully and sincerely yours,

Your Honor, 

My name is [NAME OF AUTHOR], the tax accountant of the alleged offender [NAME OF ALLEGED OFFENDER] and I am writing this letter to attest the goodness of the character that the alleged offender possesses.

I can also attest to the fact that his/her tax dues have been duly paid considering that I am the one who calculates his/her income and assets over the fiscal year. I also have copies of the filed documents of the paid taxes confirming the veracity of my statements.

I hope that you will give the alleged offender, my good friend, the due process every citizen of this country is entitled to. 

Respectfully and sincerely yours,

[NAME AND SIGNATURE OF SENDER]
