FRONTIER NEWSLETTER – Classifieds

Number 14, 1 August 2017

 

The Frontier Newsletter is a free service for interested individuals living in Maseru, Lesotho and Ladybrand, South Africa. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who may be interested. To read the Frontier Newsletter on an Internet browser, click on the following URL: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/frontier-newsletter.

 

To post items on this Newsletter send them to lesot...@gmail.com. Submissions must be provided in PLAIN text format, within the body of the email. If you would like a picture with your advertisement, attach.jpg files only, no other formats will be used. No other attachments will be opened.  All submissions must be received by 7:00AM TUESDAY in order to be included in the distribution that week. Please note that the accuracy of the seller’s contact details and information depends solely on the seller himself. To sign up to receive weekly emails, please see instructions at the end of newsletter.

 

RECENT ABSENCE OF FRONTIER NEWS – Sorry to all about the past couple months without Frontier Newsletter.  Frontier is a free service that is ran by one person, this means that when something happens that affects that person life Frontier takes a backseat.  If you would like to help in the production of Frontier News please let me know by email.  Again I apologize for the inconvenience that the absence caused.

 

I am starting the Newsletter anew, putting in only the adverts that I received while away.  If you had something in the newsletter that was deleted but you still want in, please resend it.
