Re: [OM] Suggestions for paying in France?

[Hilary Stone]

I would send the cash registered post ­ it won't be a huge amount. 
Alkternatively American Express Money orders are available in Britain and
they only cost £5 each but they do have to be made out in $. This does avoid
any problems in converting through the currencies.
