1) I requested for the check to be sent to me.

2) Insurance rep requested for a check to be sent to me.


Please check my sentences. I should be using "For" before check. Am I right?

I thought both are acceptable.

A request does not have to be entertained.

Another possible construction:

I requested to have the check sent to me.
The insurance rep requested to have the check sent to me.
