I always make them put in an ammount.  Any ammount is better than a
blank entry.  They usually complain but always come up with an ammount
if you push hard enough.  Just keep telling them you won't sign a blank
check.  Ask them how much their deposit for cash would be.

If they come back with a huge ammount, say fine and have them put it down
before you sign it.  If you think it's too big just remember they could
write double that on a blank form AFTER you sign it.

Besides covering you against abuse it prevents them from tacking on
some add on charge.  They would have to alter the ammount.
