Correspondence Templates

Correspondence Templates can be used to create a letter format for sending correspondence to Requesters or Program Offices. They can be shared and edited at any time. A template contains frequently used text, static text that remains unchanged, or a message that can be reused.

There are three types of correspondence templates, while Email correspondence has three categorizations. These are detailed in the table below.
