the Embassy can help you contact your family, bank, or employer to arrange for them to send funds.
To transfer funds through the State Department, information is available on the Internet at travel.state.gov/travel/money.html.
To transfer funds commercially to Mexico, your family in the U.S. should go to the closest Western Union office and instruct them to send the money to an "Elektra" store in Mexico. To send money through the Elektra store closest to the Embassy in Mexico City (telephone 011-52-55-5525-1608), the funds should be sent as follows:
(Your Name)
Dinero en Minutos ("Money in Minutes") or Va a Llamar ("Will Call")
Insurgentes Elektra Store
Tonalá #15
Colonia Juárez
06600 México, D.F.
You can find other locations for Elektra in the Mexican telephone Yellow Pages (http://www.seccionamarilla.com.mx/) or on their website at http://www.elektra.com.mx/Elektra/LocalizaTienda.aspx. The senders must provide you with a 10-digit confirmation number prior to your going to pick up the money. They should also give you their correct name and telephone number and the name, address and telephone number of the Western Union office in the U.S. from which the money was sent. You must take photo identification.
