I am also saddened to report that the bank will not be open on Saturday or Sunday, and so it will be Monday before I am able to facilitate the progression of our endeavour. Now £235 is 576 TRY (New Turkish Lira), which is not a problem. However, I note that you actually specify the charge as being $65 plus $170, which is $235 (235 US Dollars), corresponding to only £126.43 (Pounds Sterling). Please advise me as to which is correct.
