Fax

A fax message is often sent when particular

official correspondence needs to be sent or

received urgently and it is not possible to send the documents via e-mail. In some cases, a

fax may have been requested.

The message usually has a cover page containing the following information:

•name and fax number of the recipient

•date

•name and fax number of the writer

•number of pages

The cover page also usually contains a short message.

Any document (e.g. report, letter, purchase order) that you are sending follows the cover

page.
