To do this you need a cheque book issued to YOU by YOUR bank. This will have preprinted cheques in it with your banks details and your name and account number printed on them.

On on of these cheques there will be blank lines to fill in. At the top right of the cheque write the date in the space indicated. Then where it says 'Pay' write the name of the person or company to whom you wish to pay.

Then on the next line write the amount you want to pay them in words. Next to this will be a space (box) for you to write the amount again but this time as numbers. Start the numbers as close to the left of the box as possible and after the last number draw a horizontal line to the edge of the box. (This is so that nobody can add numbers at the beginning or end of what you have written)

You should then sign the cheque (with your normal signature) in the space for this.

After you have done this the cheque is filled in but for security turn the cheque through 90 degrees and draw two horizontal lines across it form side to side and between these lines write the words 'Account Payee Only' (This means that the check must be payed into the bank account of the person to be payed - nobody else can cash the cheque if it gets lost in the post)
