Mark -
I live in Bellevue and work in Issaquah, WA. If you like I could go to the guys house when he gets back from his "HONEYMOON" and pick up the cash for you. I mean as long as he is at the bank getting the cashiers check, he may as well just get the cash and give it to me to forward along to you.
I would just charge him a small handling fee of $100. It could even be 100 Euros seeing as he will just be getting back from that neck of the woods and he will most likely have some extra laying around that he didn't exchange.
