I've sent a check for the current OO.org balance to the address listed
at http://apache.org/foundation/contributing.html

I overlooked the desire to wire the money when I initially read this
message.  Hopefully the different payment method won't be too much of a
hassle.

The check should be received by 2012-05-04.

Given this additional information, I've cancelled the scheduled check
payment of the OpenOffice.org funds to the ASF.  Once the ASF
Fundraising committee finishes its approval process I can re-initiate
the transfer.  The easiest method for SPI to transfer the funds is a
check but alternate methods of payment are also available if preferred.
