I would use the second sentence, although i would write check rather than cheque.

@Setanta,
Same answer, though Ms Tan seems to favor the British - which I keep forgetting.

@tanguatlay,
I think either of the first two would work. The third is clearly wrong since check 1334 is not missing.

I cannot agree that the first example is acceptable. Referring to a typo in the third sentence seems a silly quibble to me, not germane to the question of usage.
