	this causes so much hassles it is not worth it for anyone involved.

	I'd recommend to buy a travellor's check, sign and endorse it:

		FOR DEPOSIT ONLY by <name of the company>

	and snail-mail it, with a request for a receipt from the company,
	or do a "return-receipt-request" from the Post Office (not
	necessary in my experience).  keep a photo-copy and use send it
	in a follow-up letter if you do not receive a receipt!
