That's quite accurate.

That part is a bit fuzzy in my mind. The bank draft (check) was not of the
regular LEGO type (for instance what they pay employees or freelancers with)
but was cut from an "operating account" and printed on a what appeared to be
an inkjet printer. It bore the LEGO logo but did not come from Enfield. It
was marked with an Enfield return address but was postmarked from New York.
Obviously it was not a personal check, but it may have come from a completely
discretionary pseudo-personal spending account. Not that that probably really
matters much, but we found it curious.
