Self-addressed stamped envelope & confirmation quality.

I'm just wondering about the legal status of contracts which are signed, scanned in & then returned by email.

The reason I ask is that during my time in the bank, we were not able to accept instructions received by email or fax, or those where the instruction was a photocopy rather than an original document.

This was because we needed an original signature, presumably due to the higher risk of fraud with emails, faxes & photocopies.

Dunno.

Thanks for your help!

FWIW I always send out an SAE with my booking packs and again with my questionnaires.

It just removes one more barrier to them getting the forms back to you a) at all and b) on time.

I don't use particularly posh paper or envelopes, but I don't do cheap either. Everything is colour laser printed.

Erm Martin, surely the post is the LAST THING YOU RELY ON

I HAVE HAD MORE LOST ITEMS IN THE POST THAN LOST EMAILS

And---no one but no one can say they couldnt get to a Computer--its a LOT harder to get to a postbox

Sooo--what goes on down at the PO --asked for a cheque to be sent to me RECORDED DELIVERY.

It arrived ok---shoved straight through my letter box with the rest of my NORMAL post, no signature required--despite the sender having wasted a quid or so sending it Recorded.

Yikes its getting worse by the day guys
