My Scribd Documents
Recently I discovered that Scribd randomly request payment to download some Scribd documents.
If this happens to you, email and I will send you the document.
I am now converting all Scribd documents to Box, but it takes time.
Thank you for your patience. shellie.tancred@det.nsw.edu.au
