Факс – документ, полученный с помощью специального аппарата факсимильной связи.

Факс, по сути, является копией переданного документа. Факсом можно посылать письма, диаграммы, фотографии, техническую документацию и любую другую информацию.

Факсы составляются на фирменных бланках организации. Оформление факса осуществляется аналогично оформлению делового письма, за исключением адресата, в котором вместо почтового адреса указывается номер факсимильного аппарата получателя. Название вида документа в факсах не указывается.

Основные требования к тексту факса – лаконичность и простота изложения. Факс составляется в одном экземпляре, который после передачи по аппарату подшивается в дело.

Шаблон факса имеет следующий вид:
