You haven't paid enough NI in 04/05 to be eligible for a basic state
pension qualifying year. They are simply warning you. If you don't
think you'll be able to get enough qualifying years (30?) to be able
to get a 100% state pension then pay them the money - I believe you
can do so with 6 tax years - see the letter.

How old are you ?
