Depending on who you are sending the money to (and the $ amount), you could also just send a wire transfer from your bank. Might be slightly more expensive in the end as each intermediary bank charges fees, but if something goes wrong or you need to follow-up on the transfer your bank may be in a better position to help you. Also, the money goes directly into the beneficiary's account, so they don't need to go to the Western Union location to pick it up.

It's more like a glorified email I think.
