MY RESPONSE....BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO FED EX THIS GUY A BOX OF PLAY MONEY.
Baugh,
I'm a little confused now. I got the photos, and forwarded them to the lady at Western Union. I was about to leave to go to the Western Union office to send you the money when the FedEx truck pulled up. They had an overnight package from the Mayo Foundation with another check enclosed. Did your client misunderstand and send a check instead of a photo?
Anyway, I went to the Western Union office and told the lady there what was going on. She said that I should be careful, if I cashed that second check I might get myself in trouble since there has already been one check cashed. She was so concerned about me not getting in trouble for this she said she won't transfer the money.
I do have a solution though. If you'll give me an address to ship it to I will put this check, and the cash, into a FedEx Security Box and overnight it to you or your client anywhere it needs to be sent. Fed Ex security boxes are what we always use to send cash because FedEx guarantees the delivery and that all the money will be there. I really don't want to have to keep all this cash around over the weekend. The cost is actually less than the Western Union shipment, too.
I'm going to be out of town next week so I really need to be able to send this today if possible. Also, I still don't have the address of your new apartment to ship the dishwasher. I can't get it out today anyway so let me know and I'll see if I can get it picked up next week while I'm gone.
