Sending Euros - best way?

[Simpo Two]

I have 1,000 Euros in cash I need to send to a bloke in France. What's the best way to do this safely with the minimum of fees/commission/charges etc? Can I take it to my bank with the recipient's bank details and let them do it all?

Thanks!

Brown envelope. No questions asked.

The bank will do it probably for about £ 40.00, If you have internet banking and its for a business you can do a Priority payment which I think we only pay about £ 15.00 per transfer.

Needless to say at the moment if you are changing sterling into Euros then your going to get a bad rate whatever.

I used Western Union for a payment many years ago which is more of a no questions asked way to trasnfer funds but is possibly a less safer way of doing so.

Thanks. I've since learned he's coming over soon I'll get to hand it over personally.
