Fax Cover Letter vs.

Fax Cover Sheet


There is a difference between a fax cover letter and a fax cover sheet. The cover
letter is a more personal detailed informative page whereas the cover sheet is less
personal and usually includes much less information. A cover letter usually is sent
along with resumes and other business reports to non-familiar entities. A cover sheet
usually accompanies a document where the correspondents are somewhat familiar
with each other. For a cover sheet, you can download our Fax Cover Sheet
Template.

Tips for Fax Cover Letters


 Keep it simple. Too much information will quickly throw off your recipient
and make them less likely to care about what's in the rest of your fax.

 Keep it neat and clean. Your fax cover letter is a representation of what
your recipient will see in the rest of your transmission. Use clean and
concise language. Just because you understand a word does not mean
the recipient will, so avoid using slang terms and technical jargon.

 Give as much information as necessary to keep the recipient wanting to


read through the rest of the fax. If you give them too much information, the
recipient will think they have read enough to get the gist of it.

 Pay attention to the recipient's business hours. Some businesses may be


open until 8 or 9 but they only want to get faxes between the hours of 8 to
6. If received later, the information may be marked as received the
following business day.

 Long letters are less likely to be read, so keep your fax cover to one page.

 Make sure a fax cover letter is marked as CONFIDENTIAL if the


accompanying documents are confidential.
