I do not agree here for two reasons
1. i do not reimburse only one country but a lot different, with
different fees for every country - the fee is not transparent to me as
the sender - for china i got a feedback it will be 50USD fee to transfer
200 USD ... !?

2. i handle money which does belong RedHat and not me - i will reimburse
what i can nail down to a invoice
