Hi,
Am glad it's available. I'm going on a vacation to London but I will
instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure
you will get in about 4 - 6 business days. I'll add $20 extra for the
delay. I'll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full
name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed
out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will
be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your
info.
Thanks
