The fee on PayPal for 1k USD is 28 dollars

The fee on Western Union for 1k USD is 20 dollars based on a 3rd party page cuz I can't even get WU's page loaded

BACS should be your best bet.

BACS

or CHAPS if it needs to get there fast, but it is more expensive.

It might be called something different in the US though, call in at your local branch and ask them...

Hello and salutations LS21,

You are in luck and good fortunes. I am currently returning from the US to Berlin and back to Nigera from a most recent business venture with my uncle Barister Pedi Paws. We were quite successing in finding our relative to whom fortunes were untold. I would be glad to take your payment to your friend in Berlin for 5 US DOLLARS. When arrive at desination and payment of friend is made confirmed, we will send you a bonus garanteed certified check for using our service as 1 million customer for the amount of 10000 US DOLLARS. We in returns ask you to send us correspondances and payment of 500 US DOLLARS after you have depost our check into your account. Thank you and many fortunes to you.

Ill do it myself. Just make sure they are 10x $100s. I think I would be walking noticeably awkward if it was 200x $5 in my ass.

I thought you were to talk about all the new taxes the conradeship has in store for the US. That will send a lot of money to Europe.
