In order to satisfy our complete testing requirements, it will be necessary to utilize representative MICR encoder documents typical of the check processing function within the Eleventh Federal Reserve District. It is therefore requested, that your bank supply the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas with a sample of approximately 100 of your bank's checks. These checks will be utilized strictly as test documents and will remain within the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated.
