Dear Lennart Van Doremalen,

dear the SQM2017 Organisation Committee.

I am confused to get your e-mail about the conference fee payment.

With this message (below) I have forwarded to you my correspondence with Andre Mischke, where (on 28 April 2017) he has informed me that everything is OK with the payment. I can only repeat (how I have informed him) that in the case of problem with the transfer this money I can pay it (the amount of 350 Euro) directly at the conference site in Utrecht. Of course I'll need a receipt from you in this case.

I am also disappointed that for the payment of the conference fee you have selected only one option, namely, to buy it via internet. I NEVER did it before, and really the problems might arise in my case. (Actually, I did not get a statement on my credit card balance so far.) And, I am afraid, since it was not done on 28 April, it may NOT be possible for me to do via internet at all.

I would appreciate your attention to my case. I hope that the condition of my participation in the SQM2017 is not the obligatory payment VIA INTERNET only. Otherwise, because of this stupid technical problem, I should unfortunately reconsider my plans for this participation. Please, inform me as soon as possible.

Sincerely, Alexander Botvina.

(P.S. Another option would be to transfer the payment directly to the conference account and, afterwards, I could receive the receipt from you during the conference time, unfortunately, you did not provide this opportunity.)

Dear Alexander,

The system acknowledge the payment. If you have doubt, you might want to check the statement of transfer of your credit card.

Best, Andre

Re: The conference fee payment.

Dear Organizers of SQM2017,

Today I have paid my conference fee (350 Euro via my VISA card) via the recommended web site. Below, please, find the e-mail with the order which I got as a response. Please, could you send a confirmation that the payment is obtained, since I have no information on it. In the case of problems with the web page, please, tell me if I can pay this amount (350 Euro) directly at the conference site.

Sincerely, Alexander Botvina.
