Re: cheque dishonoured

You should make the payment soonest possible; and meanwhile inform him of your intention to pay by writing a letter.

Re: cheque dishonoured

If you have genuenly to pay this amount, pay the amount immediately without waiting any further. Do not wait for any court summons or warrants to be issued against you. Cheque bouncing is a serious offence.
