Unfortunately your cheque was torn accidentally and the bank refused to accept it: I paid cash for the sum as my auditor is due shortly. I would be much obliged if you could send another cheque. I enclose the stubs of cheque on Wilts and Dorset Bank No A305702 and two stamps, one for the cheque and one for postage.
