It is important to use a facsimile cover sheet when sending a fax. The cover should include the date, the recipient, the sender and the number of pages being faxed. It is also useful to write a short description of what is being attached with the facsimile and what it is about. Include a contact number so the receiving party can contact you if they have a question or do not receive all the
. pages. You are able to prepare a facsimile cover sheet from your word processing program. Also, you can make copies and complete them at the time you will send them.
