It is good fun replying however and keep saying that you've sent a cheque and have they received it yet. They can get really funny when they are desperate for your unforthcoming cheque and you keep replying 'Yes but I sent it 2 days ago...You MUST have got it by now!!!'.

It's funny how their spelling and grammer goes down the pan when they are emailing you to re-send a cheque in their best broken English.
