How to use this template
Fill in the recipient's fax number carefully and include a phone number in case of transmission problems.
Count the total pages including the cover sheet, so the recipient can confirm everything arrived.
Keep the message short: what is attached and what you need. Tick a checkbox for urgency or action required.
For medical, legal or financial documents, the confidentiality notice asks anyone who receives the fax by mistake to notify you and destroy it.
