FAQ
You are the purchaser and so you should write your current mailing address. Some money orders may use the words From, Sender, Issuer, Remitter, or Drawer. Putting your address allows the recipient (wherever they deposit the money order) to contact you if they want to confirm that it's real or if there is an issue.
Make sure the amount is correct. After you buy a money order (and note, there will be a fee), double-check the amount that's printed on it. Write in the recipient's name. Enter your own info. Include an account number or note. Sign it. Keep the receipt.
The purchaser is you. Whether it says From, Sender, Remitter, or Purchaser, this is where you fill in your information. Western Union® money orders require your address and full name, but others may only have a field for your name.
Fill in the name of the recipient. Write the name of the recipient of the money order in the pay to or pay to the order of field. Include your address in the purchaser section. Write the account or order number in the memo field. Sign your name in the purchaser's signature section.
Sign the front of the money order in the portion labeled for your signature. This section may be titled Purchaser's signature, Purchaser, From, Signer or Drawer.

Dear Mrs. Richeston, I would like to work with you to arrange a payment plan for the following debt: $2,125 on my car payments which have been due since March 9.

Money orders are printed using the same laser check printer and paper as regular credit union checks. (NOTE: You must have a laser printer to produce money orders.) Money orders will write out to the check reconciliation system just like checks, using a separate code to make them easy to track.
