What to do when you receive an official letter

A calm checklist for understanding the sender, deadline and next administrative step.

Before you begin

Keep the task clear and secure.

  • ✓ Check the official deadline
  • ✓ Keep reference numbers together
  • ✓ Use accurate information
  • ✓ Review before approving

Keep every page together and identify who sent the letter, the reference number, the deadline and the action being requested. Make a note of anything you do not understand. If the deadline is urgent, contact the organisation or an appropriately qualified adviser rather than waiting.
