In case, you have already issued a cheque to a party for making the payment but later on you realize that there is some error in it.

However, it would be advisable to exchange the old and new cheque simultaneously through a personal meeting because such a replacement request to that party may raise suspicion on his part.
Here is a sample of the letter for your reference while drafting.
