Well in the OP’s wife’s defence, someone has probably spent a lot of time and thought into making the letter as successful as possible at fooling people into thinking it is from HMRC while staying within the law.

Of course ‘some people’ are just so perfect they would never be fooled

Yes but a lot of these scams are successful despite the fact that they are poorly constructed, ungrammatical, written in a hopeless attempt at the English language, and are obviously scams.


Yet people fall for them. Often, I think, because people no longer understand what words mean (or don't mean in the case of clear errors).
