You should write the cheque payable to the person to whom you wish to pay cash. For example if you wanna pay money to yourself you can write Pay To: Self, in case you wish to pay to a friend of yours you can write Pay To: Sam. Remember to cross the top left hand corner of the cheque. This is called as an account payee cheque which can be only deposited into a bank account. Such a cheque cannot be cashed for money directly. Hence you can keep a track of who is getting your money.

It is not a good idea to write a check with "Cash" as the payee because if you or the payee lose the check, anyone could pick it up and cash it, and the bank would not be responsible for the lost funds, since making a check payable to "Cash" essentially allows anyone holding the check to cash it.
If you wrote the check to an individual, that person would need to complete an affidavit of forged endorsement. Then, your bank can return that check to the bank that cashed it. If your bank cashed it, the affidavit will force them to take the loss - they may require you to file a police report. If the check was payable to a company, a representative from the company must complete the affidavit.
