Sounds like a check from Lego Direct to me.  I've never heard of such a
thing as a pseudo-personal spending account.

I saved a photocopy it's clearly not from Lego Direct.  It's from a "LEGO
Systems, Inc. Operating Account," whatever an "Operating Account" is.  To
me it sounds like some kind of special expenses account, but that's
speculation.

An "Operating Account" is the primary checking account that businesses use to
deposit receivables and pay vendors.  It is also used to
pay employee expenses when an expense report is filed.
Operating Account funds are also periodically transferred into a
Payroll account, usually managed by a Payroll Company that cuts the payroll
checks.  Checks to contractors can come from either depending on the
nature of the relationship (1099/W-2/benefits etc).
The LSI operating account is the only logical place to draw that check from.
The fact that it was mailed from New York makes sense, if you look at the
job listings on the LEGO website that were pointed out here before.
The fact that it was in an envelope with an Enfield return address
makes sense, since it was probably stock letterhead.  Given the above
facts, and the accompanying letter from Brad, It clearly
was from Lego Direct (not to be confused with LDMI if such a company
exists).

I meant that the check per se wasn't from LEGO Direct.  The donation (the
money) was apparently from LEGO Direct, since it's how Brad signed the
accompanying letter, but the check itself wasn't from LEGO Direct.  Hope that
clears up the confusion.
