A note is a written promise to pay money. Notes are different from drafts in that notes are a promise to pay.
If there is any doubt whether a document is a note or a draft, the holder of the document can decide what it is.
There are two parties involved in a note.
1) The Issuer (Maker) is the promisor. This is the party who is obligated to pay the note.
2) The Payee is the person to whom the note is owed.
The Payee will receive the money paid by the Issuer.
