People still fax shit?

the DOD still considers it the most secure way to transmit a document

depends on who you are faxing it too

if its someone that you want to look professional towards - cover page
if its to a place that received a high volume of faxes - cover page

if its something relatively informal and they are expecting it (ie. hey i'll fax that over to you right now) then dont bother

but when in doubt, cover page anyway....it takes like what...a minute to fill one of those out?

oh and if its multiple pages, regardless of if you use a cover page or not, on the first page you should put the total number of pages in the fax

we fax a lot and use cover pages <25% of the time.

We fax a lot of formal proposals and the first page of those serves as a cover well enough



and yes, in our business people still fax a lot. Its common that on bid day the estimating team is in a central location working on a project and may not see an email for several hours. So faxing is the quickest way for them to receive your document.
