Honorable Minister Frank Hope
Ministry of Finance
Main Street
Georgetown

Dear Minister Hope,

Peoples Temple Agricultural Mission is seeking waiver of duty and consumption tax on a .22 caliber carbine rifle. The sole purpose of the rifle is for the humane slaughtering of livestock and elimination of chicken hawks interfering with poultry production.

Approval for importation has been granted by both the Commissioner of Police and the Minister of Trade.

Because of the nature of the exclusive use of this rifle for agriculture/livestock purposes, we feel that it falls under Item 9 (1) of Part B (1) of the Fees Schedule.

The rifle is presently at the Police Headquarters Armory, therefore we are eagerly awaiting a reply at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

Yours Cooperatively
Paul Adams, Secretary
