Format
The format used for faxes varies widely
but will mainly be dictated by a company’s
preference of software used to generate
the faxes.

Points to ponder
• Address are not always written out in full in
the same way in faxes as in letters.
• Each page of a fax will be clearly
numbered.
• Faxes sent through a modem will not
include signatures because of the difficulty
of getting them into the computer.

Some other Considerations
• Handwritten faxes may also be acceptable in some lines
of business or in certain situations because faxes are
primarily used to transmit written messages quickly.
• Impression are made when sending faxes, as with any
other type of business communication so care about
details may be equally important when sending faxes.
