I'm sorry but I don't get it. No UK bank will issue a draft for less than $1,000? In Canada money laundering rules do not kick in until the amount is $10,000. I could walk into a Canadian bank this morning and walk out in 30 seconds with a bank money order for up to $2,500 without any fuss whatsoever.
