FINRA Rule 3110.06
If the procedures in place do not require that all incoming and outgoing written correspondence is to be reviewed before use or distribution they must provide for:
- education and training on procedures governing correspondence
- documentation of this
- surveillance and follow-up to ensure that the procedures are implemented and followed
The last would in practice almost certainly require the capture of such incoming and outgoing correspondence in order to be able to ensure continuing compliance.
