[internetworkers] Digitally Signing documents

I am sending a Promissory Note to a relative for a loan, and have 
gotten it all done up nice on an RTF file, and want to just "print" it 
to a PDF, and post that online where she can download it, instead of 
having to mail or fax it to her.

However, I was wondering about signing it with a legally binding 
signature. Can I just type my name on the "Signature" line with some 
comment about "signed electronically on 3/7/2005 by Ian Meyer" or what?

Also, if that's not enough, I was thinking that using a GPG signature 
of the document should work, but how to implement it? Type my name on 
the line, and add a clause about "please refer to the accompanying 
signature.asc file for a GnuPG-generated digital signature. for more 
information on GnuPG, http://url" or something?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~ian
