The Fax
The fax (short for facsimile) is a new, and in some places the most common way to send written in formation quickly. A fax machine acts like a photocopier, sending anything written, typed, or printed on a piece of paper, so there is no special style. of writing required for fax. It is common to send a cover note with a fax, containing the fax number of the receiver and the number of pages (including the cover note) that are being sent.
The Telex
The telex is paid for according to the length of time it takes to send, so to be economical, telexes need to be shorter than ordinary letters. In writing telexes, remember the following:
1. Include only important information—cut out unnecessary words.
2. Don't use complete sentences.
3. Rewrite to simplify.
4. Do keep them polite.
Telegrams
Telegrams are paid for by the word, so they should be as short as possible. The above guidelines for writing telexes also apply to telegrams, but if possible, even more words can be left out. It is not considered necessary to be very polite or friendly in a telegram, although single words like "please" or "thanks" can still be used.
The main difference in a telegram is the use of "stop" between phrases.
