Dear Isaraphon and Somboon:
Please ship Natasha's luggage 'door to door' at THB19,800 as per the quote provided.
Meanwhile, we realize that you have been assuming more responsibilities lately for the singers and may not be aware that Nash did not have any 'inbound' excess baggage expenses. Having just concluded a 6 month engagement at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong, we had them pay for the shipping of her 'inbound' luggage to LeBua, thus saving on her baggage expense for her engagement in Sirocco.
According to the Agreement, she is allowed reimbursement for any 'inbound' and 'outbound' excess luggage within a reasonable amount. Most all of the
singers have had anywhere from USD200-350 in excess baggage each way (in and out) and in a couple of cases, due to the airlines baggage allowances, have been as high as USD600 one way.
With regard to Ms. Natasha's luggage, it looks like the total cost to ship her luggage back home 'door to door" (BKK-SA) will be approximately USD600. which would be her total excess baggage costs for the engagement. We feel this amount falls within the 'reasonable' category, as she did not have an 'incoming' expense.
Normally our singers take their excess baggage with them when checking in at the airport and pay for their bags when boarding the plane. They send us
a copy of the receipt and we prepare an invoice for reimbursement from the hotel.
In this particular case, we feel it is necessary and the most economical way for Natasha, is to have her bags shipped home. Please let us know if it is agreeable for the hotel to pay for the shipping and we will provide you with an invoice for your file.
We appreciate all your help, not only with the shipping of Natasha's luggage, but with the travel and financial arrangements, etc for the singers.
Please get back to us if the payment process in this particular case is agreeable, and if so, send us a copy of the shipping receipt and we will prepare the invoice as promised.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions or need further information.
With best regards,
