Editing Cheque (section)

=== Attached documents ===
Cheques sometimes include additional documents. A page in a chequebook may consist of both the cheque itself and a stub or ''{{visible anchor|counterfoil}}''&nbsp;– when the cheque is written, only the cheque itself is detached, and the stub is retained in the chequebook as a record of the cheque. Alternatively, cheques may be recorded with carbon paper behind each cheque, in ledger sheets between cheques or at the back of a chequebook, or in a completely separate transaction register that comes with a chequebook.

When a cheque is mailed, a separate letter or "[[remittance advice]]" may be attached to inform the recipient of the purpose of the cheque&nbsp;– formally, which account receivable to credit the funds to. This is frequently done formally using a provided slip when paying a bill, or informally via a letter when sending an ad hoc cheque.
