e. An "I Owe You" - just evidence of a debt owed.

Explanation:

AN IOU IS simply defined as a memorandum, promise or the acknoledgemet of an individual to refund or pay a debt, it can be signed especially in a paper stating the specific amount owed and usually bears the letters IOU (I OWE YOU). It cannot be stated as the same as a promissory note due to the fact that there is no direct expression of the promise to pay.
