For some people, $60 can mean the difference between having groceries to eat and gas in the car for a week versus not. As a struggling student in my early 20's so broke I was wearing shoes with holes in the sole and eating Ramen every night, receiving $60 for my birthday would have been a huge blessing. I understand the OP's dismay at not being able to cash the check.

Maybe you forgot your aunt's name?

cheque rofl its check retard

ehh dont listen to that slut kaysl, she has her panties in a bunch ^---^

Two options: 1) "Hey Auntie , you must've stuck the wrong cheque in the envelope. Whoop! Could you write me a new one?" 2) Endorse the back of the cheque with the name she put on. As long as your Aunt doesn't call the bank claiming fraud, you should be fine. ;) Hardly the end of the world, or a FML moment.

I have a long name & family even misspell it, so I go by a nickname. I've had family write checks out to my real name & misspell it. I've had family write checks out to my nickname. You have to endorse the check first with the name they wrote. -THEN- below it you have to endorse it again with your actual name. This lets the bank know that there was a mistake, but puts your real name on it too.

what a lovely family :)

welcome to my world! my own family (like aunts and uncles) cant get my name spelled right...*sigh* but just ask if she can write another one?

So it's spelt cheque in Australia. Interesting. It's check over here. Regardless, there's always one thing that we all can understand and that's Beer. So lets all have a pint and be happy.

Uhhh, just ask her to send another one.
