Good morning. I'd like ten airmail stamps.
That's fifty cents a stamp. Anything else?
Yes, this letter needs to go by registered mail.
Where's it going?
To the New York State Department of Taxation.
You'll want to make sure that gets there on time!
Fill out this form and sign at the bottom.
Here you go.
OK, that's twenty-nine cents for the stamp and two dollars to send it by registered mail.
Is that it?
Mmm. Not quite.
The next thing on my list is a money order.
Let me fill out the order form.
Who is the addressee?
English Language Textbooks.
And the address?
One twenty-five Chamber Street, Santa Monica, California nine-oh-four-oh-one.
And the amount of the money order?
Fifteen dollars and seventy-five cents.
We charge a dollar fifty per money order, so that'll be seventeen twenty-five total.
Anything else on that list of yours?
One more thing. This letter is urgent.
If you send it express mail, it'll be nine seventy-five for the first twelve ounces.
Fine. It's only a letter; it doesn't weigh much.
Fill out the form, and put the letter inside this express mail envelope.
Thanks. That's all.
Now, here's the bad news: your total is thirty-four twenty-nine!
