IMM REVISION
Effective December 1, 2001, Section 371.2b will be
revised to reflect the new format that Barbados uses for
issuing international money orders. The amount of the
money due for payment will no longer be handwritten on
the form (the form currently states, "Amount To Be Written
In Words"); instead it will be electronically applied. In addition, the reference in 371.2b to standard international
money order issuance in Mali will be deleted.
We will incorporate these revisions into both the printed
version of IMM Issue 26 and the online IMM, which can be
accessed via Postal Explorer at http://pe.usps.gov.

As a community service, the Postal Service offers
pictorial cancellations to commemorate local events
celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of
events for which pictorial cancellations are authorized
appears below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial
cancellation appears in italics under the date.
Also provided, as space permits, are illustrations of those
cancellations that were reproducible and available at
press time.
People attending these local events may obtain the
cancellation in person at the temporary post office station
established there. Those who cannot attend the event,
but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit a
mail order request. Pictorial cancellations are available
only for the dates indicated, and requests must be
postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested
pictorial cancellation date.
All requests must include a stamped envelope or
postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail
postage. Items submitted for cancellation may not include
postage issued after the date of the requested
cancellation. Such items will be returned unserviced.
Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix
stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice,
address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others,insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for
sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or
postcard in a larger envelope and address it to:
PICTORIAL CANCELLATIONS, followed by the NAME OF
THE STATION,ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP + 4 CODE, exactly as listed
below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except thehyphen in the ZIP + 4 code).
Customers can also send stamped envelopes and
postcards without addresses for cancellation, as long as
they supply a larger envelope with adequate postage and
their return address. After applying the pictorial
cancellation, the Postal Service returns the items (with or
without addresses) under addressed protective cover.
