4.4. Faxes

A facsimile or fax copy is an exact reproduction of a document, so when you send a fax it could just be a copy of a document (e.g. a letter) not a new document. Often, though, a fax is a new document similar to a letter, but is often more direct. Faxes are quick, convenient, and the sender knows that the document has arrived.

This is a fax giving confirmation of a booking.

1. Say how many pages you are sending, so the receiver knows if there is any problem with the transmission.

2. Re: means 'regarding'. Put the subject here.

3. The style is more direct than a letter.

4. Information about the sender and the receiver appears at the top, so the writer does not use traditional greetings. (Dear Sir etc.)

5. The fax ends with the sender's name or initials.
