To date, the checks presented have been made payable to various payee’s, all have been issued in the amount of $4,985.00 and are dated “02/06/2008” or "02/13/2008".
These checks have the words “Cashier´s Check” (with an apostrophe) printed on the top-center of the check, REMITTER: S n´ C Inc. on the bottom-left corner and Security Features with padlock symbols appear at the bottom-center.
