I agree with others that KH probably knew about the amount through a text message.
"Written" has more than one meaning - Egyptian Hieroglyphics carved on a wall are "written language." Words printed in books are "written." Therefore, it doesn't have to be handwriting to make something written. (Sorry - English major here mincing words). Typing is still written language because people are spelling out words.
When you "put something in writing" it doesn't matter if you type it or write it out long-hand, it is still "written."
