[Cz-L]Correction about the cost of the plaque.

In a previous E-mail I wrote about the estimated cost of the plaque:

> The estimate was between 2320 and 2760 UAH.
>I was given this estimate in August of this year.
> At that time the exchange rate of the Hrivna was about 4 Hrivna = $1,
>so that the total cost estimate was between $600 and $700.

I looked up the exact date on which I was given the estimate
and the rate of exchange at the time. The date was August 14th 2008
and the exchange rate at the time was $1.00 = 4.64 UAH.
This puts the estimate between $500 and $595

Sergei Kulipanov gave me a very detailed estimate, specifying the cost
of every item included. At the time I thought that the plaque would have
only a Ukrainian and English inscription. Therefore the estimate did not
include the cost of the Romanian inscription. Since the plaque will
contain also the Romanian inscription, which consists of 188 letters
and digits (my counting and possibly not exact), I will add the cost of
engraving the Romanian inscription to the original estimate.
The cost of engraving each letter, digit and punctuation mark, varies
between 1.7 UAH and 2.5 UAH, depending on the size of the letters.
It follows that I will pay an additional 320 to 470 UAH or $69 - $101
for the Romanian inscription.
This brings the total to between $569 and $696.
