Communicate in the workplace

 Facsimiles

A facsimile or fax is a quick way to send text information, photos, documents etc.
Faxes can be hand written or typed. Faxes are generally attached with a cover
sheet, so the people at receiving end know the sender and receiver. When the
message is short, it can be included in the cover sheet instead of another paper.

Fax will be blurred or smudged sometimes. Hence, fax is not a good option when
quality of the document is important. Almost all workplaces have templates for
cover sheet to ensure that all important information is included such as name, date,
address of the organisation etc.
