Quick answer

Use a forwarding letter when you are submitting documents to an office and you want a clear record of what is being sent and why. Keep the subject specific, state the purpose in the first paragraph, and list all enclosures accurately.

Key takeaways

  • State purpose + requested action in the first paragraph.
  • List enclosures clearly and accurately.
  • Avoid long background; attach details as annexures where needed.
