Nam Kim you will have to wait on the Bank of Brazil to come off strike. I was sending Western Union  before the strike and  have been unable to send money since the strike. I apologize for not much help for I will not be sending any Western Union until I am are sure the banks are off strike. Hopefully the strike will end soon.
