Keith Woolford Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) How many people requiring a Consular service will show up without a certified check and want to pay cash because they didn't read the memo? Is there potential for a pool here? Edited May 31, 2017 by Keith Woolford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there potential for a pool here? I think these memos could be much better designed. There is nothing eye-catching about them, and you have to slog through to get what is relevant.
