Lost at Pohnpei

Sending money is one of the reasons why an over seas contract worker like myself gets his reward. It is in the giving that such promise of hard work receive satisfaction. Whatever the amount of money that can be sent to help one’s relatives in the Philippines is a valuable gift to share.

Jane and I were about to go singing on the hill with the rest of the gang, when I remembered that I was supposed to send some money to my mom. So, we stopped by a Western Union branch and made my very first transaction.

This was the procedure I followed for sending money:

1. Go to the nearest Western Union Money Transfer® Agent location. Fill out a Western Union green “To send money” form.
2. Give the form, money, and fee to the Western Union Agent® clerk.
3. The Agent clerk will give you a receipt with your Money Transfer® Control Number (MTCN)
4. Telephone your receiver and tell them the amount of money sent.

Since it was the first time I sent money, I forgot the last one.
