Re: Ruesch International -- Foreign Drafts

Thanks Scott. I've run into that problem several times. Last year I ordered
a book priced at $30 US from a company in Germany that required payment in
DM. My local bank was able to order a check in DM for me but the "fee" was
$50.00!!

that do not take credit cards)
