Hi Stone
If you receive 'a cheque with one thousand dollars' that means you receive a cheque AND also one thousand dollars in cash. The amount of the cheque is unknown in the sentence, but in total you would receive more than one thousand dollars.
If you receive 'a cheque for one thousand dollars', that means that the amount written on the cheque is one thousand dollars and so that's exactly how much money you receive.
Hope that helps. Amy _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Hi Muhammad,
Please note the difference between 'difference' (noun) and 'different' (adjective). Also, the word 'I' is always capitalized. You would greatly benefit from improving your typing habits.
