I was going to suggest that you try to find some source of stamps from the country that you are writing to - stamp dealers might be able to supply them. Or a friend in the country might be willing to buy you some stamps if you send them money. I also find the international reply coupon to be of no use whatsoever. When I have written to places such as registrar's offices who asked for them, I simply added the postage costs to the cheque I was sending, and that seemed to work. Heather
