rule #1 Questions deflect Surety. Never 'understand', objectively deny everything by asking a question. they are NOT your friend, THEY are picking a fight with you.
ask what the purpose for such a device? does it create any obligation on any party (who and what)? (the holder in due course) so, Demand possession of the original document, first draft, not a copy/stamped/certified/ not the original is not good enough [period].
simply state, the first party to sign the document retains the original.
They can not sign it untill AFTER you. do everything at a bank.
