Abstract
Abstract A one-piece sheet paper form of elongate generally rectangular configuration, having fold-tear lines demarcating the form into a gift check section, an envelope section, a record section and an identifying section. The transaction form is adapted to be accordion folded in flat multi-thickness compact configuration for retail vending or the like. A vendor of the transaction form may fill out the amount only of a gift check blank imprinted on a fold panel of the gift check section, forming simultaneously a carbon copy on a check blank panel of the record section. The vendor may then separate the gift check section with the envelope section from record section, the latter of which he keeps. The vendee will then place the check section in the envelope section for mailing or delivery to a recipient, after filling in the remaining blanks and separating the check section from the envelope section. The recipient separates greeting area from check before cashing or depositing.
