                                        - 5 -                                          
               To the best of my [the Appeals officer’s] knowledge,                    
               with the information available to me, I have determined                 
               that the Collection Division has followed all applic-                   
               able laws, policies, regulations and procedures:                        
                    1)   Assessments were made and notice and demand                   
                         for payment of the taxes under IRC �6303(a)                   
                         were sent to the taxpayer’s last known ad-                    
                         dress, along with Publication 1, Your Rights                  
                         as a Taxpayer.                                                
                    2)   You neglected or refused to pay the tax; per                  
                         IRC �6321, a lien in favor of the United                      
                         States upon all property and rights to prop-                  
                         erty was created;                                             
                    3)   Letter 1058, Final Notice, Notice of Intent                   
                         to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hear-                   
                         ing, was sent to the [sic] you, along with                    
                         Publication 594, Understanding the Collection                 
                         Process, in accordance with IRC �6330(d).                     
               Mr. Roberts, you were informed by the Court and Chief                   
               Counsel’s Office that your argument regarding the                       
               perceived lack of a valid summary record of assessment                  
               is not valid.  During your hearing, you offered no                      
               proof that the assessment document is flawed in any                     
               manner.  We have enclosed Form 4340, Certificate of                     
               Assessments and Payments, for the year 1996.                            
               Your claim that Revenue Officer Colt in [sic] not an                    
               employee of IRS and has not been issued a bond that is                  
               required by the Statutes at Large has no relevance to                   
               this proceeding and has been previously answered by the                 
               Disclosure Office.                                                      
               Your concern that the actions of the Collection Divi-                   
               sion are unduly intrusive was weighed against the                       
               Service’s responsibility to apply the tax law fairly to                 
               all.  Mr. Roberts, you voluntarily filed the 1996                       
               return and reported your taxable income.  You now                       
               refuse to pay the balance owed.  Our records indicate                   
               that you have not filed a tax return since 1996.                        
               Enforcement action is fully warranted in this case.                     
               You chose not to offer collection alternatives at this                  
               time.
