Comment: "Thanks, I should have provided more context. The letter involves obtaining patients' consent to participate in a drug trial study, hence the cover letter probably relates to an overview of the study protocol."

updated patient records/files/reports
A doctor writes up a 'report' or keeps a 'record' or 'file' on his patients? (anschreiben 'to write up')

Klaus Herrmann
: That's not an Anschreiben in German. Sorry, but no way. Anschreiben is a cover letter. If you go to http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/ you'll see that it is impossible for Anschreiben to mean patient record or report.

letter / memorandum
cover letter implies that there was more to it, but it looks like it was simply a letter or memorandum

(corrected/altered) letter OR circular
The scenario I visualise is that the doctor has already sent out letters to a number of (all of?) his patients which included an error, such as dates when he is being replaced by a locum, or his surgery is closed during holidays or whatever. He is now correcting the error. Just a thought....
Something went wrong...
