emails are untrustworthy in today's world for honest mistakes. .

if one makes an error accidentally, then one makes the effort to clean up one's error, whatever the effort takes. No grace is expected, but one is very thankful if there is. .

YMMV
It seems to me that the bank would reject the check rather than charge an insufficient funds fee. I'm not an expert on banking procedures, but don't they have a system to verify that the person trying to execute a check from someone else's account is the owner of the account, like matching the name and address? I cannot imagine that the bank would release money from an account without verifying who owns the account.
