Could "false pretenses" also include the letter head on the document? If you were to scan the document, change the lettering and produce an exact replica except for the fine print, could that fall under false representation since the bank was not the author of the document.

Though I could also argue that I've been in contract negotiations where drafts are edited by both parties and passed back and forth, yet one party's letterhead remains on the top. In other words, I could say the letterhead does not, as a matter of accepted convention, indicate that one party was the sole drafter.
