Good day,
I am James Green, I am from UK and would be coming on a vacation in the
states for three Month and would love to secure an accomodation before
getting there so I would not have to go through stress on getting there.
Well I would love to know what forms of payment you would accept but I
personally would love to pay via Cheque as it is the easiest for me.
I would love to hear from you so I could carry on with the next step
regarding this.
Regards,
James
