Thank you very much for all the info its been a great help an clarified a few things. I did also make a list of the money ive sent to my new family via western union, which paid for food,girls schooling,medical treatment etc as thought that would help. The 1 thing still slightly confused about though. I read quite a bit on here about people sending a covering letter to manila to explain how we met,what weve done etc and i copied this letter putting in my own personal stuff, so i also send this to my fiance as i got the impression people where sending direct to manila. But once again thanks for the help will let you know how i progress. Cheers Les
