The check documentation included with the bank statement shows that this check was actually issued by a company named Jam Systems. On March 25, the bank lists a $50 charge for the safety deposit box expense that Jam Enterprises agreed to rent from the bank beginning March 25. On March 26, the bank lists a $102 charge for printed checks that Jam Enterprises ordered from the bank.
