Without without

I live in an apartment building. It is a cosy, small one, with just eight flats. As a notional, nominal head of our building's management, dealing with utilities and correspondence falls to me. All letters addressed to the building come to me.

I received a gem of a notice from a gent calling himself the Inspector of Lifts.

He tells me that it is seen from their office record that our building has not renewed / revalidated our subject lift licence since 2000. He further tells me that this is a highly irregular practice. He directs me to renew/revalidate the same and deposit the amount of money towards renewal/revalidation fees without any further delay. He invites me to note that renewal/revalidation of licence is obligatory under law.

He further says, and I'd better quote because this can't be paraphrased and you won't believe me,

"It is pertinent to mention here that operation of lift without valid licence is a serious offence as per law. You are directed not to offer any service to lift in any manner what so ever without to offer any service without following the above directive. "

The mind boggles.

Tell me, Dear Reader, should I write and tell him 'licence' is excessive freedom and lack of restraint? And that it is freedom to deviate deliberately from normally applicable rules or practices, especially in behaviour or speech?

Yes, yes, I know the third and fourth definitions of 'licence' are that it is a legal document, giving official permission to do something and the act of giving a formal and usually written authorisation. Yes, I also know about American usage, but still. It is so tempting.

Cheers!
