This is common practice in the Philippines, where I used to live. It applies to personal checks as well. By the way, you want draw the parallel diagonal lines in the upper lefthand corner of the check, about an inch from the corner. The lines should be about 1/8 inch apart. At least that's how I've always seen them.
