Writer of the cheque for a reward, possibly returned (6)

I believe the answer is:

drawer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'writer of the cheque' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'a reward possibly returned' is the wordplay.
'reward' anagrams to 'DRAWER'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drawer that I've seen before include "Person writing cheque" , "Artist" , "neither winner nor loser?" , "One who writes cheque; storage box" , "One sliding into e.g. chest" .)
