Template for Supplier Notification of Audit

Good afternoon,

I wonder if anyone has an example of a template that is used for notifying suppliers when you plan to perform an audit. In my company, we communicate and confirm audit dates via email, primarily. However, I was informed today that I must develop a template to use going forward to notify suppliers when we need to audit them.

If anyone has a generic or sanitized template that you could share, I would appreciate it very much. I looked briefly in the Post Attachments List, but didn't see anything that looked appropriate.

Thanks....

I've always used the format that our AS9100C registrar uses (in the notifications they send us). Seems to work well, and we just modify the areas to suit.

Out of curiosity, is this a new internal requirement, or from a customer? What was the rationale behind it vs using your established method of email?
