Re: [Killietalk] Sending money to Brazil

["Karen Perdue" <windamyr at peoplepc_com>]

Just send a check made out for the proper amount of US dollars(there's a
currency conversion chart online I'm sure!) or go to a bank and get a money
order payable in Brazilian currency and mail it to the person directly.
Hopefully that would go through without a glitch. Another possible option is
to go to a Latino grocer who offers money transfer services, all the little
grocers here offer money transfers to Latin America, and due to the fact a
lot of these folks are illegals, they can't go through 'traditional'
channels for sending money.

I would guess that the number of illegals in this country are a factor,
there is a new Brazilian transfer service set up by the Brazilian govt so
that Brazilians living abroad(55% of them are in the US, many are not here
legally) can send money home through the national bank.
