   Eystein
   and Thorsten if you are able to help
   I have plane tickets on hold but my universitywill not pay
   unless they have a contact to bill immediately afterwards!
   The officialdom of this place is truly overpowering now.
   Are you able to send me an official looking statement confirming that the
   travel costs can be claimed for , before the meeting perhaps?
   They need to know who will refund this .
    The only alterbnative is for me to pay with a credit card and I am very
   much overdrawn at present and obviously do not wish to do this.
   I have to do this quickly as I am holding the flights. I think an email will suffice .
   Sorry for the bother
   best wishes
