How to Find a Fax Cover Sheet

Always use a cover sheet when sending a fax.

You may be ready to send a fax, but without a cover sheet your important information may end up in an office garbage can. A cover sheet is important because it identifies the intended recipient, the name of the sender and pertinent details about the reason for the fax. You can find fax cover sheets for free in word processing programs.
