In the small box with the dollar sign ($), write '1600.00'. Make sure to include the decimal and two zeros for cents, even if there are no cents. Write clearly and as close to the left edge as possible to prevent alterations.
On the longer line below the payee name, write 'One thousand six hundred and 00/100'. Start from the far left of the line. The fraction 00/100 represents zero cents. Draw a line from the end of your writing to the printed word 'Dollars' to prevent additions.
Fill in the date, payee name (who you're paying), and sign the check on the signature line at the bottom right. Optionally, add a memo note to record what the payment is for. Double-check all information before handing over the check.
