- Brian,
-
- Great news, but you didn't provide some basic information, since we (or at
- least I) don't know you from Adam:
-
- Set up a simple bank account fund, with a specific name, which is
- restricted to only writing a cashier's check to the USAF. Provide a name
- and address of the bank to which donations can be deposited (or your
- addresss or POB), and the name of a manager who will verify the
- autheniticy of the withdrawal policy (only a check payable to the USAF
- etc- but don't tell them that people might call, this might scare the bank
- off from opening the account- they don't want to be hassled). I have
- worked in banks for many years, and this is a simple, doable procedure
- (BUT! be sure to be real cordial to the Branch & Operations managers).
- Wear a suit when you come in to introduce yourself, and don't mention UFOs
- at all (very conservative group them banker!). Just tell them this is a
- special non-profit research project, which is soliciting donations. You
- will have to file for a DBA (doing business as) AKA fictitious business
- name, which takes one quick trip to city hall and does NOT cost a lot of
- money to file.
-
- Thus, even strangers will feel comfortable sending you money, including
- this one here. I promise you $20 if you provide this information.
