Transmittal Basics

What is a Transmittal?

A letter of transmittal is a document used by a security holder to accompany documents in an exchange or other project action

What is in a Transmittal?

Transmittal letters often accompany reports and inform of a report's context. Typically, the letter includes information not found in the report. For example, the letter contains information about the particular project and/or due dates. A Transmittal Letter is a business letter and should be formatted accordingly. 

Who gets a Transmittal?

A Letter of Transmittal may also be a distribution list with the recipients of a memo, report or contract. A transmittal letter accompanies a document and explains what the document is, why it should receive the reader's consideration, and what the reader should do with it.

When does a Transmittal get sent and what do the recipients see?

A transmittal or cover letter accompanies a larger item, usually a document. The transmittal letter provides the recipient with a specific context in which to place the larger document and simultaneously gives the sender a permanent record of having sent the material.

How long is a Transmittal?

Transmittal letters are usually brief. The first paragraph describes what is being sent and the purpose for sending it. A longer transmittal letter may summarize key elements of the proposal in one or two sentences and provide the recipient with other useful information.

*** Tip: End transmittal letters with a one-sentence paragraph that establishes goodwill by thanking or complimenting the recipient.***
