Answer 9

In addition to Western Union, there is a new company called Money Gram that I used just this week to send money to my wife. It was much cheaper and just as reliable. Just make sure to ask where the nearest "pay-out" office is.

For larger sums of money, (anything over $200 usd), I use my local bank. Their wire fee is ONLY $10 for any amount of money. Check the small, local banks to find the best wire rates, you may be surprised at how cheap it is.  Your friend will need a bank account and you will need the wire destination numbers.

Good Luck
