Hardly any, we all send and receive PDF's and have done for some time now, save trees and all that
I get paper bank statments and other odd documents but none of there are headed notepaper. It's just a bit of paper with the logo at the top, contents of the document below and the legal stuff at the bottom.
Some people still insist on these originals for ID checks. At least one financial institution I use plasters "Internet copy" all over downloaded statements, making them useless, and making it impossible to go completely paperless.
I get that as well. Bank has a 'download pdf statement' and puts a big 'internet copy' across the top.
if your sending a pdf headed document with all your details that should be good enough. I went paperless years ago and part of that was giving up the business card ...... shock horror
That makes no sense at all. Whose to say headed notepaper is correct.
A while back i was stood in a Lloyds whilst the cashier was trying to tell a Polish couple they could not open an account as their utility bill was a print out of an ebill and not a "proper paper bill which we need for ID" and they were trying to explain to the cashier that their utility provider did not have the option of paper bills.
That's not really the point. When you provide headed notepaper you are making a contractual statement: Here is my company name. Here is my company number. Here is my address. Here is my VAT number. Here is the list of Directors (if included).
No, it doesn't. But put it this way if someone forged a headed paper to circumvent checks with your company and then you found out and they said "Sorry, Guv, I made a genuine mistake." You would reply "You made the same mistake in your application form AND your headed paper?"
Japancool,
Perhaps, but we get most of our invoices from the US, Germany etc. virtually now also. I feel that everyone is going to go that way now.
I have to say Bob, that there is something in me that would love to receive a letter that had an embossed company seal on it. For me it signals importance, old world trust (but then I am an old biddy). My father-in-law passed recently and in the loft we found his embossing seal for his old company. We kept it
Yes, although they are the practices of a previous generation, there are advantages from time-to-time. With the use of ‘Letters’ to and fro (Sent via Email), the Project Files literally ‘Tell a Story!’ – Incoming correspondence is filed with outgoing. It also becomes easier to find historic documentation via the Hardcopy File.I have to say Bob, that there is something in me that would love to receive a letter that had an embossed company seal on it.

A bit difficult to do on an email...!
