Skype, PayPal, and Western Union

Dearest Correspondents,

I can hear the clicking of keys as you connect across the continents and oceans on Skype!

I have two quick updates:

— For those of you who have not been able to download Skype successfully, I am working on finding you technical support to help troubleshoot.

– If PayPal is not available in your country, please email me the address of your local Western Union office.

If you have any other questions, please keep posting or emailing them.

Thank you for your patience as we work out the kinks of this program!

Hello Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
All the banks in Nigeria have western union, Do you want us to send our bant account number.
The alternative is you can send the money to our banks and send us code answers to receive the money.
Please do something about those of us that are not able to install Skype. It kept on telling me Browser Highlighted Fails.

Thanks.

Warm Regards
Busayo

Western Union

Hi Jenny,
With Western Union in Ghana, you just have to send the money through any bank and keep the code and answer to secret question which you will communicate to the recipient to go for the money. The reciepientthe n goes with a national ID card and the code and answer to the secret question.

Alternatively, we may give you our account numbers for a bank transfer.
With Love,
Gifty

Hi Jennifer

Western Union in Bolivia works this way: You make your remittance through any western union office there, to my complete name (two names, two last names), and you will get a 10 digit code number that you need to let me know so I can pick up what you have sent here. That is all. Easy and fast. There are lots of western union offices here in Bolivia, so I can pick it up in any of them.

You can also use Money Gram, if it is more convenient, it works the same way and it has lots of offices too. I´m guessing they have different prices for remittances, and sometimes one may have an offer and be less expensive, and some other time the other will be doing that. So, it is up to you which one to use.

Thank you!

Love,

Jackie
