I used to have a Mexican store on my route that catered to the local Hispanic population. The lady that ran it spoke decent English but did not write particularly well, so she would have me fill out the C.O.D. checks for her. She was always ready to do business when I got there, she would have her checkbook out on the counter and all the checks dated and signed, she just needed me to write the consignees name and dollar amount in English. It actually made things easier for me because I never had to wait around and in 6 years I dont think she ever had a send again.Yes..I'd be glad to fill out that money order for you.
