The original document was sent via Fedex, and scheduled to be delivered on either Jan 25 or Jan 26 to your father's address, as you requested.

I have no problem with this.

I still fail to understand the difference between a document that is printed, signed, and snail-mailed, versus a document that is printed, signed, scanned, and emailed, but this is the world and I don't question how it works.  :)

Well I am in a same position here, it's really strange and not good but I followed the requests from them.
