Blank checks are aok. I assume you mean that the line which reads: "PAY TO THE ORDER OF" [sic] is the only section which is blank, but the amount sections are completed, i.e. digits & letters. Bear in mind that USPMO's say: "PAY TO". There is a very important difference in law here, but the Post Office counter clerks are not presently aware of this important difference. "PAY TO" must be negotiated by the payee; "PAY TO THE ORDER OF" can be signed over to a third party, because the payee is "ordering" the assignment of the funds to a third party. A sharp bank should bounce any "PAY TO" instrument which exhibits a third party. If you like, we can let you know to whom the check is paid, when we negotiate it. I would recommend that we run the completed check through our fax machine, in "copy" mode, and then mail the facsimile back to you, for your records. But, you will eventually get the check back from the bank, if you have requested them to do so. Please advise us on this minor detail, if and when you send the check. We always recommend that you now start stating "Without Prejudice, U.C.C. 1-207" on all your commercial paper, e.g. bank checks. We have a comprehensive paragraph from filed court pleadings which explains the meaning of this phrase, if anybody should ask or need to know. And, when you have them reprinted next time, add this same phrase just below your pre-printed name, on each pre-printed check. When I succeeded in getting Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank to convert my old accounts to W-8 accounts, we also instituted this change, because the account numbers changed with the submission of the W-8 for me. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://supremelaw.com At 11:01 AM 10/29/97 -0500, you wrote: > >In a message dated 10/29/97 3:32:23 PM, you wrote: > ><<Hello Mark, > >You can pick up the thread by >requesting Alta Vista to search >for "John Hamaker" and then look >for the seminar schedule on soil >remineralization at URL:>> > >Paul - can you take blank checks and just make them out to someone else or >would you prefer not to do that?
