Cover sheet tips
A cover sheet is the first page the clerk sees, so keep it short: who the fax is for, your full name, your reference number, the subject in one line and the total number of pages including the cover. You can fill one in with our free fax cover sheet generator and save it as a PDF. More tips: what to include on a fax cover sheet.
