CONFIRMATION COPY

(telex procedure) a confirmation copy is a repeat of the message, complete with its reference number, either a fourth copy of the transmission or an extra copy made up. It is marked clearly in writing or with a rubber stamp confirmation copy and routed on dispatch lines to the org or unit to which the telex was addressed (not to the relay pointsòÀÔto the org of final destination). If the message was sent to more than one org or unit, then each must get a confirmation copy. On receipt of confirmation copies, the communicator of the org or unit receiving them checks that the original message was received. This is checked against the telex master files. If receipt is verified, the confirmation copy is filed. (FO 2557)
