CategoriesWriting & Everyday

FYR stands for For your reference, an email and office abbreviation.

Marks material sent for the recipient to keep or consult if needed, such as a policy document, earlier report or background data. No action is expected.

Example: FYR, I've attached last year's vendor contract so you can compare the new terms.

Usage notes

It is common in corporate email, often in the subject line. Compared with FYI, FYR suggests the material may be useful later rather than needing to be read now. Because some readers will not recognize it, spelling out "for your reference" is safer with external contacts.
