MY GUESS: I would just sign it with the same signature you sign your checks and such with. I think what they'll care most about is that there's an account they can take it BACK from if the check-writer were to complain. They care less about the signature matching the name on the check than they would about the sig being the recognized one of the account holder into who's account the funds were placed. I think your signature is essentially saying "I promise this is written to me". That's my guess that seems logical but could be wrong

Hope your feeling better lately Lucky my man!
