Aye, western union is the nuts. You walk in, hand them the cash, pay the fee, get a reference number from them.
You then transmit this reference number to the person your sending to, they go into any western union and quote it and show their ID and they get the cash. Very useful (I did a J1 to chicago - i know it inside out )

You can also wire money from your account to the other person's if you have their bank routing number, account number, bank name & address. Probably the cheapest option. I've done it before.

western union is very expensive, if my memory serves me right then moneygram is cheaper but bank wire is cheapest.

Western Union isn't the safest way, your local Bank Will charge you €20 I think and it'll be the safest. Or you could get Dollar Draft and post it.
