Dear Sirs:
I have sent off my video and entry form to you.. I have been tracking it through the US Post Office website and it says they have been “attempting to deliver” it since on Jan 30th, and twice more on Jan 31st. It also says that, prior, the packet had cleared customs in Britain on Jan 29th. You should have it although I am just checking to see. I can forward the emal documenation from the post office if not. Did you receive it? Please let me know.
Thank you!
