1. Introduction
Business activities cannot be conducted without information exchange. Nowadays the most used kind of information exchange-is a fax message. Writing a good fax message is a matter of detailed and quite specialized technique. Your fax message should be well spaced and organized.
To make your fax message more readable and inviting bear in mind the following:
• Leave wide margins.
• Keep your sentences and paragraphs short.
• Use a new paragraph for each new thought or idea, and express that thought as simply and briefly as you can.
• Your messages should not contain misspelled words, grammatical errors or poorly constructed sentences.
Any fax message should be written according to a special form.
