PER CURIAM.
Appellant's conviction of Obtaining Property in Return for Worthless Check, in violation of Section 832.05(3), Florida Statutes (1973), is reversed because of the trial court's refusal to instruct the jury that intent to defraud is an indispensable element of this offense.

REVERSED AND REMANDED for a new trial.
