 Anyone can send any message to any contract at any time, but the contracts may reject messages which are not given necessary permission. Messages are not sent "from" anyone, they are sent "with permission of" one or more accounts and permission levels. The following commands show a "transfer" message being sent to the "currency" contract.
 
-The content of the message is `'{"from":"currency","to":"inita","quantity":50}'`. In this case we are asking the currency contract to transfer funds from itself to someone else. This requires the permission of the currency contract.
