Give your completed form to the clerk with your funds. The clerk will give you a receipt and a record of your Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN). The MTCN is very important so write it down, as you will need to give this number to your receiver. Your receiver will need to have the MTCN plus proper identification or the answer to your security question in order to get the money.
