Fannie Mae No Longer Accepts Generic Pre-Approval Letters When I learned that Fannie Mae No Longer Accepts Generic Pre-Approval Letters, I had already received the generic pre-approval letter and had written up an offer with dates in it that were based on not having to add 48 hours or more into the mix.
