FAX

Are these sentences correct?

-Could you send September's invoice via fax?

-Could you fax September's invoice to us?

Thank you very much for your help.

I wouldn't hesitate to use 'fax' as a verb, so option 2 is my preferred. Also, I believe you can even drop the 'to' and make it : 'Could you fax us september's invoice'. Let's wait and see what everybody else has to say about this...

I agree with using fax as a verb. Both suggestions are fine. Fax is also used with 'over' quite a lot - 'Could you fax over September's invoice?'

"Fax" is a transitive verb.

I would accept both sentences -- that is, the use of "fax" as a noun and as a verb -- as correct. In the first case, however, the expression tends to be "by fax": e.g. "send it by fax".

1. Fax is both a noun and a verb.

2. One meaning of via is: By means of. So one can say ...via fax.
