This all assumes that you have at least $1,000.00 in your account. If you have insufficient funds it isn't a good idea to write a check for more than you have...

Assuming that is taken care of:

In the date field write today's date as Nov. 29, 2007, or just 11/29/2007

In the 'Pay to the order of' field, write the name of the person you are paying. If you aren't sure Yahoo Answers! member "Puzzling" will work well.

In the numeric $ amount field to the right, write "1,000.00"
For the long amount field in the middle (that ends with 'DOLLARS') write out the amount in words as:
"One thousand and no/100" (or 00/100, if you prefer). Draw a line all the way from the end of this to the end of field, just so someone doesn't try to change the amount.

If you have a comment/memo you want to write, e.g. the reason for the check, put that in the lower left. Some examples are "Gift", "Acct. #1234", "School supplies", etc. You can also leave it blank.

Finally, sign your name in the lower right field.

Be sure to also record the check in your check register along with the check number so that you can later reconcile your checkbook when your bank statement arrives.

(Oh, and the last step is to mail the check to me. :-)

Take a pen. Write in the amount 1,000 and for the words one-thousand and 00/1.00 and then write out who it is to, put the date, and sign.

PS...Pay to the Order of Worker Ant is a good plan!

in the upper right block enter $ 1,000.00
on the line in the middle that ends with the word DOLLARS
write
One thousand and xx/100 or One thousand and 00/100
both are acceptable by all banks in the US
