assistant: Hi,
   I am subscribed to your advertising newsletter.  I once submitted
   an ad and want to do the ad on a recurring basis.  Do I have to
   keep resubmitting to you each time that I want to advertise, or
   can I do it for a certain period of time (say 3-6 months)?
   I would like to submit the following (for as often and as long a
   period of time as possible):
I'd like to trade picture postcards with you.  You send me one and I'll
send you one; you send me two and I'll send you two, etc.
If you're interested, please send yours to the below listed address
(or use the e-mail address for further questions). Please send unused,
picture postcards (mailed inside of an envelope, please).  In return,
I'll mail you an equal amount of (unused, in an envelope) postcards.
I have no particular kinds that I collect--whatever you feel like sending.
I hope to hear from you soon!

gave up. I had stuff for Chris to sign, but couldn't even bribe people to

assistant: Hello Bruce
 Well my bankers have advised that can provide me with a Bank Draft drawn
 in U.S dollars on their US Bank - ANZ Bank, New York for a cost of $8-00
 ANZ Bank is Australian & New Zealand Banking Group with offices in N.York.
 However, my bankers are unable to tell me what charges you would incur
 over there for accepting this?
 The only other bank alternative is to telegraphically transfer the funds
 direct to your bank account, but this would incur costs of $25-00.
 In regard to Don Dellmans suggestion, our local post office will supply
 an "international Money Order" for a cost of $6.
 Apparently this can be cashed at any American Post Office or Exchange
 Bureau. Could you let me know if this is acceptable to you?
 My only other alternative is to send US cash/notes, but I don't like
 the chances of this method reaching you.
 Thanks
 Mandy
