eh actually soemthing like 1.051 billion dollars made out to the company i'm interning for.

I don't know if I can say what company it was given to but I can say that Citibank wrote it.

I'd like to cash that.

C'mon man, large companies don't write billion dollar checks, they transfer money electronically. I don't believe that one bit.

In that case it's not a check, it's a prop. Big difference. By the way, seeing as you originally said it was a "real" one, I'm calling BS on this. Such a transaction in front of the press would be in the news, and I find no mention of anything like this happening.

Well that beats me, in 1989 when I was 19 I was working for ColorTile (now defunct) in AP. The biggest check I held was $99 million check payable to IBM (probably for mainframe computers we had received).

don't post the check, unless you wanna be the 3rd person who has lost their job for disclosing company's matters on here.
