Is there anything on the check itself? Is this one of those checks with
an attached (perforated) notation page, or is the letter separate? Is the
check attached with a staple, or paperclip? Or is it just in an envelope
together? If you don't get my point, I am just curious if there would be
any chance someone could see the check and not the letter.
Seems a bit unusual. Maybe you should check with someone who might be
able to give you better advice, heck, even the ask-the-lawyer column in
the newspaper might be better advice. Also, look over labor law. (There
is an old bill that covers quite a lot, and isn't too difficult to
understand.)
