Would it be considered rude?

Would it be considered rude or bad manners if I sent out with my christmas cards a deposit ticket and a postage-paid mail-in envelope for my checking account with a dollar amount already filled in? I was thinking along the lines of $500 or $600. Or would it be more proper just to leave the amount blank? I am afraid if I leave the amount blank the cheapskates will not send in enough.

Update:

Or how about this: as an added incentive to give appropriately, I could mention that a thank-you card will be sent to everyone listing all those who received cards along with the amount of their gift next to their name.

    Rude? Are you nuts? It's a great idea. But I would suggest a few "improvements". Just to make it easy for all of your lucky recipients, I think a "check box" would be help full. You know, those little squares you black out. Different denominations. I would start at $50.00, next $100.00, $250.00 and $1000.00.

    Be sure to note in your beautiful card (make it Happy Holidays. You want to maximize your return) how your "real" friends ponied up the top number.

    Good luck and Merry Ch........ Happy Holidays.

    It most definitely would be considered rude and bad manners to sent out a deposit slip and a postage paid mail in envelope for your checking account. Haven't you always heard that it is better to give than to receive?? I can't believe you're even thinking of doing that. If I were one to receive your rude deposit slip with the christmas card, I'd turn around, use your account information on the deposit slip and empty your account. Haven't you ever heard of identity theft?? if you send out your account info, you're asking to have your identity stolen. If I were to receive your deposit slip- I'd teach you a lesson in manners, I'd cross out the amount you filled in, and deposit six cents.

    No. You should go ahead and put deposit tickets for the next 10 years worth of xmas's and birthdays and so on in the xmas cards this year. And don't be rediculous... you should definately enter an amount, like, $1000.00, this way you won't get ripped. (you moron.)

In Italy you detect lots of the worst of Europe. lots of thief's and thugs. So i ought to imagine no longer, though I have not ask. I basically comprehend lots of the human beings, and performance been round Europe, the city on the water is one grimy position.

    If I received a card like that, I'd think it was a joke.

    i would fill in the amount. if you leave it blank there is a likelihood of someone taking advantage of it.
