How to Scanning and Attaching Documents in Yahoo Email

“Last April, my daughter went to Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania to take admission and all of a sudden I got a call from her. She informed me that she forgot to carry her residential proof (all thanks to her forgetful nature).

Then my sister suggested me to scan and send the document to her mail so that she was able to submit it. That day, I understood the value of modern technology; truly!”
