How to Fill Out a Fax Cover Sheet

  1. Write the recipient’s name, fax number and company so the fax gets to the right desk.
  2. Add your own name, fax and phone number in case the recipient needs to call back.
  3. Count every page you are sending, including the cover sheet, and write the total.
  4. Write a short subject on the “Re:” line, such as “Signed lease” or “Patient referral”.
  5. Tick an action box and add a short note in the comments.
  6. Place the cover sheet on top of your documents and send.

Why Use a Fax Cover Sheet?

Shared fax machines in offices, clinics and schools receive pages for many people. A cover sheet tells staff exactly who the fax is for and shows whether any pages are missing. The confidentiality notice also reminds anyone who gets it by mistake to contact you.

Print at 100% on US Letter paper. Keep a few blank copies near your fax machine. Free for personal and business use.
