ii. After receiving the acceptance letter from Paola Spadon, you should confirm participation as soon as possible. Please. follow VERY CAREFULLY the instructions (see in particular instruction iii. below) : either confirm by email or transmit to the Banco di Sicilia - the address is shown below - 300 Euros or the equivalent in US dollars as a deposit towards the total fee (see section v. below) or notify Paola by email. International postal remittance is also possible. Please, when bank-transferring, specify : your name ( care is recommended, see below ) and (CARE, QUOTE : ) 41th Course as motivation. After recent negative experiences on the above missing data, the Treasurer will not acknowledge any remittance if name and motivation are absent from the communication to the bank and/or in the xeroxcopy mentioned in the point iii. below From non European countries
(e.g.Australia, Canada, Latin America, New Zealand, USA) the bank transfer
costs too much; then mail to the bank address an envelope containing Travellers'
Cheques or a personal/bank/international cheque for an amount corresponding
to the required Euros, marking "NOT TRANSFERABLE", payable to "Banco di
Sicilia for International School of Crystallography": add an accompanying
letter with a short explanation (and your name!). Any slight modification of the suggested procedure will cause a waste of energy at this end. Please, do not mention organizers' names in the bank order. Conversely, it has been a very common and a very distressing experience (see the bold italics above) iii. Mail a photocopy of the bank (or postal) money order or of the cheque to Lodovico in Bologna (address below) and NOT to Paola !!!! No mailing and wrong address have often resulted in a few problems....... BANK TRANSFERS TO : account named International School of Crystallography v. In Erice you are expected to pay the additional 900 Euros. Beware a single Eurocheque may pay only a fraction of the amount due. Credit Cards cannot be used - sorry - for this kind of payment, but personal cheques are accepted. In Erice you find a small section of the Banco di Sicilia, Group Capitalia.. vi. If you prefer to pay the 1200 Euros full fee in advance, follow instructions ii. and also iii. above. In either case, a letter of receipt will be sent to you ONLY when the bank in Bologna has acknowledged the payment. vii. The deposit will NOT be returned if your withdrawal is notified after April 30, 2009. the Treasurer, International School of Crystallography Lodovico Riva di Sanseverino, |
