English term or phrase: Western Union prose
Buonasera.
Non so come rendere questo Western Union (ovviamente non "unione occidentale").
Non trovo nulla di attestato.
Non c'è molto contesto, semplicemente un tizio scrive una lettera e ciò che dice è espresso in "the abrupt Western Union prose" (è originario del Missouri).
Per ora ho reso con "la laconica prosa dell'Ovest", ma mi piacerebbe essere più specifica.
Grazie.

Western Union is the bank!


Explanation:
Ever happened to come across these banks? Their logo is black and yellow, they are a major corporation.
I have seen many of these in the Uk, specially in London and Glasgow, all over. Don't think they're that common in Italy.
