In addition, the Trade should provide the following information when mailing the check to the Office of Finance:



•Annotate the Entry Summary # on the check (front, top, right-hand corner).

•Mark the check VOID across the front.

•Include a separate note that (a) explains the circumstance of why you believe the check should be returned, (b) provides the corrective action needed, if known and (c) a Trade point of contact for possible follow-up.
