The first line is usually who you're giving the money to. It will be labeled "payee" or "pay to the order of", and then you put in who you want to get the money. If it's a person, use their first and last name. If it's a business, make it as close to their business name as possible.
Underneath that, there's usually a line that says address. I squeeze my address in two lines even though there's one.
Then there's the "payer, signer for drawer" line, which is your signature. I usually sign and then put my name next to the signature, because my signature isn't readable.
There might also be a line that says "account number" because most businesses ask for your account number when you pay something. If this applies to you, put it there. If you're paying a bill, it's good practice to put your account number somewhere on the check so they know. Just put it in a blank space near the top.
The money order already has the price on it, so you don't have to worry about the amount. Just tear off the stub to keep for your records (like a receipt), and give it to who you need to. |
