Dear Sir,

I am in receipt of a pension from your organisation and am writing to ask that you withhold
all tax payments from the Government.

It has been brought to my attention that British taxpayers are breaking the law. I have
received legal advice that (i) the actions of the U.K. Government in waging war in
Afghanistan and Iraq causing the deaths of innocent civilians are illegal and constitute the
crimes of genocide and a crime against peace and (ii) the actions of British taxpayers in
paying taxes to HM Government which uses them to finance the war and the killing of Iraqi
nationals, constitute crimes of 'conduct ancillary to genocide' and ‘complicity in a crime
against peace’. The law states that:

'It is an offence against the law of England and Wales for a person to commit genocide, a crime
against humanity or a war crime, or to engage in conduct ancillary to such an act. This applies to
acts committed in England and Wales or outside the United Kingdom by a U.K. national, resident or
person subject to U.K. service jurisdiction.'1

'Genocide' means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part a
national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing
serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) deliberately inflicting on the group
conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part..

Whosoever shall aid, abet, counsel or procure the commission of any indictable offence, whether the
same be an offence at common law or by virtue of any Act passed or to be passed, shall be liable to
be tried, indicted, and punished as a principal offender.2

I am advised that every taxpayer in Britain has a legal duty to withhold tax payments from
the Government until the wars have ended and the crimes have ceased. As my pension
provider, responsible for the deduction and payment of tax from my pension to the U.K.
Government, I request that you cease all payments of tax to the Government and retain
them until such time as the crimes have ceased and lawful payments of tax can resume.

I urge you to pursue this matter with the Collector of Taxes and your legal advisors to
ensure that the organisation, its directors, employees and clients are in compliance with the
law. If you have questions concerning this interpretation of the laws of war please contact
Mr Coverdale of the Campaign to Make Wars History on 020 8245 3698.

Yours faithfully,
