Not sure how much money..but for most situations MONEYGRAM is a good option - gets to you in 10 minutes, is not terribly expensive and they do have places in Brazil...

www.moneygram.com

(He finds a moneygram office here in the US, there are many, sends to your country, tells you what the transaction number is, and you go and pick it up - that is the simple version, but is mostly how it goes.)

Thank you soo much

best way i found is via western union. do NOT try a bank transfer............brazil is supposedly rated as the 2nd worst country to do a bank transfer to, with india being the worst. and after once trying to send money to nessa via a bank transfer, i'd have to agree with that rating :P

Yeah, Charles, we tried the bank transfer one (Luis forgot ALL his cash at home when he flew to Brazil) and it was horrible.

We've yet to try Western Union though. I've been wanting to get my brother to send me something but I still haven't gone to Western Union to check the rates.

My parents send us money through Western Union all of the time. I recommend it over any other method. The only downside is that you can only pick up the money at Banco do Brasil... and I have never had a satisfactory experience at that bank, due to waiting.

For instance, my Dad recently sent $700, he was charged $25 or so and we only paid 6 Reais to pick it up. Not bad at all.

I have been sending money via Xoom.com since last year. I have probably sent money once a month since October 2006 and have not had any problems. The money comes straight out of my bank account and straight into hers. The charge is based on how much money you send...but usually between $5-$8. The exchange rate is close to what I find elsewhere. I have been extremely happy using this method..

www.xoom.com

It typically takes about 1-2 days for it to be in her account.

Another way is to have an account with a bank that has a branch over there. Once you withdraw your money you don't have to pay for any futher transaction.

We use an all-access debit card I purchased at the local CX for $9.99 each. I usually upload funds on the card for $2.00 and he can use it at any ATM in Jamaica. The card itself charges him $3.00 us to withdrawal cash.
