Well, I can think of one possibility. Identity theft. I those PDF forms, they probably ask for your SSN and other personal information perhaps including your bank account number for electronic transfer of funds? Those two bits of info could be used to drain you dry. I'd look up the quoted bill and see if it in anyway relates to funding the arts to begin with. Then I'd definitely want to talk to them over the phone to be sure they actually exist. The poor grammar in a supposedly official communication is not altogether unbelieveable in an email form someone working for the government, but it is a bit fishy. Be careful, but if it is real . . .
