Hi Atina, thank you for your support. Unfortunately there is a space before the first letter of the email as pasted below. > to: _SICemetery@aol.com_ (mailto:SICemetery@aol.com) I emailed my letter to SICemetery@aol.com and it didn't bounce. If you notice the email in the copied and posted one that has the 'mail to' in it above - it has a space before the first letter, need to get rid of that, its a typo I think but I noticed it and copied carefully from the capital S, not leaving a space before it. I am tired and think I am not explaining it well but it you use the email that is on the line that starts "I emailed my letter ...." you will be fine. Its very good of you to support this cause.
