[nabs-l] Criminal background check for hiring a driver

[Rania]

Thanks. I am going to put another add on cregslist because I got one 
response the first time but the person couldn't do it because it was to far 
and they were afraid of not geting me to class on time. Know i have not 
tried placing an add in the paper.

Rania,
