Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No Ferrari Content NFC - Business Banking Question

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Larry,
        If I remember correctly (and that's a BIG "if"), get a Letter of
Credit from his bank.  I think that's one of the ways we used to do it back
in the '80s and early '90s when I was working in the International Dept. at
Cooper Aviation Supply Co. Or, alternatively, call your bank and ask for the
appropriate person in their International Dept.  Even if that's not what
they call it, you should end up talking to someone who deals with
International payments on a somewhat regular basis, and, what with it being
Your bank and all, they should be able to advise you on a safe payment
method from your Croatian customer.
Best regards,
Tom
Tulsa, OK
