Unconditional Must be unconditional It will be conditional if instrument is: –Subject to or governed by an express condition –Reference to another agreement Payment out of a particular fund is NOT a condition which would destroy negotiability.

Promise or Order to Pay A promise is a signed undertaking to pay an obligation, i.e.,”I promise” evidences a promise. Mere acknowledgement of a debt is not a promise. An order is a direction to pay, a request is not an order.
