If you've never used WU before:
There are WU agents just about everywhere in the World and in the bigger cities, there are so many agents/offices that you would have to try hard to miss them.
The WU system:
You fill out a form with your name as the sender and the name of the person receiving, where the person receiving is located (doesn't have to be exact, maybe "Jakarta" is enough) and the amount (let's say $1000 US for this example).
The agent will calculate a fee which you can either pay extra or have it deducted from the amount. A fee for $1000 might be around $50.
The person receiving the money on the other end needs to have good ID and the name on the sending form needs to match their ID name exactly.
Money is usually ready for pick up in a matter of hours or maybe one day max.
