משולח; בלדר; רץ


Explanation:
משולח=me shu lah (mem shin vav lamed het) was the term used in the not so long past for people sent to collect moneys for the needy of the Holy Land. Today they're fund raisers!

בלדר=bal dar (bet lamed dalet resh) is used today to be a courier.

רץ= ratz (resh zadi) could be a messenger boy or any body sent with a message (for example) to be brought quickly to another place. It can mean a runner too but not only for racing i.e: "Run this over to Joe!"

neutral  John Kinory (X): All quite true! I would restrict the modern 'messenger' to the modern 'shaliakh' :-)
