OK, I had to edit this since I don't want to get banned for a flame war but I just have to laugh at you're above post.
Its funny, wrong and well, just makes me laugh.

Questin though? Since you think you are LE, do you're fellow LE buddies know you belong to a site called "drugbuyers" ?
Doesn't seam to make sense unless you're "on a big case here" or "working for the company"

Oh well, I still stick with my advice on trashing the customs letter, they are so swamped and overworked that a letter like that won't do anything unless it invloves large amount in which case you shouldn't be doing it. expect a follow up letter though letting you know that you have forfitted the item.
I am from a family of attorneys (me being the only one who isn't) and I have 2 very close friends who are Cops, with actual college degrees and years of training, DEA,SWAT etc.. and they disagree with the ICE story so I would tend to believe them!

Forgot, since you are so intersted in my career, ex military officer, 6 years and actually saw combat! Have you?? if not then you can't relate AT ALL! Now, daytrader of stocks and have my own landscaping business that does very well, I just send out my crews and they do the work, I estimate jobs for clients and am booked full through next spring even, so I dabble in the stock market, daytrading, not a total pro but I do ok with it on the side. Have made money in it and lost, but have made more than I lost so I keep doing it. Since I own a decent house at the beach and a house in a nice town I would say I do ok for a living!

AND now you are dissing 7-11 clerks ?? So whats wrong with someone making an honest living ? How about people who are clerks at stores or pump gas ? Are they any different then you and I ? I say live and let live! Whatever puts food on the table and makes ya happy!
Now lets just get back to real issues!
