3 ways: 1. just send the cash & include it in a cheap little birthday card that you have lying around, in the birthday card's envelope too. 2. send the cash normally but register the envelope w/ the post office (they make sure it gets to the destination & ask to get it signed from the recipient).. this costs like $4 more tho. 3. send the cash in a cassette tape or something lighter that people won't suspect contains cash. i usually do #1. hope that helps. !06719580652436120012856018461286120! !................#christopher graves! !#grav.of.krac5..#colongibs.jujubomb! !23092857234905876096242765026054037!
