In deriving the approximate functional equation for certain Dirichlet series, one first establishes an identity for the function in terms of a partial sum of the series (e.g. see [1] and [2]). It is the purpose of this note to give a short proof of this identity for Hecke's Dirichlet series [1]. The proof is valid with only a few minor changes for the identity given by Chandrasekharan and Narasimhan [2, Lemma 2] for a much larger class of Dirichlet series. However, the brevity of the paper would be lost if we introduced the necessary terminology and notation.
