      <ExplanationTxt>Dear IRS Representative: COSE has not received a huge donation for now. However, the CPA that filed our last tax returns overcharged us $1953.25, and we only received $10,000.00 in donations per year. We understood that was not a good deal, and since then, we have been seeking a more affordable CPA who could help us through as we are new in the field. We finally found a consultant who told us that since we don't have a big budget, we can file the tax return independently. Thus, we are respectfully requesting abatement for any penalty due because of this late filing. As we know certain things better now, we are implementing administrative procedures and will do all necessary to prevent late filing in the future.</ExplanationTxt>
