With the use of fax to email, it’s easy to forget that the old rules of fax etiquette still apply. For example, it’s easy to forget that one still needs to send a cover sheet. So in that effort, let me remind you of these simple rules to remember the next time you send something out through fax.
Cover sheets should preferably be type written, but handwritten cover sheets are totally acceptable. Clearly delineate your name as the sender. Indicate the name of the person that you are sending the fax to. Your address, phone number, and email address are all very important to include.
This may seem fairly common sense, but make sure that you proofread the cover sheet and the document for typos, misspellings, or anything else that could be inappropriate.
In business, remember to use:
• Official letterhead
• Company stamped fax coversheets
• Well organized and formal email formats
• Well printed business cards with your logo and title
All of these small things communicate the quality of business that you run. God is in the details, and a professionally detailed faxed document can look divine.
