Authorization Letters

Authorization letters are letters meant to give someone permission to do something or officially take control of a situation. An authorization letter is usually considered as a written confirmation to allow someone to take a specific action, enter into a legal contract, delegate his/her duties, spend a specified sum of money, etc. Authorization letters can be written for quite a number of reasons, but the most common ones include authorization of power of attorney, confirmation to proceed with a project, authorization to collect documents, parental authorization for a child to travel, and authorization to act on behalf of someone.

When writing authorization letters, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Write clearly and concisely and remember to mention that it is an authorization letter. Clearly state that the person is authorized to perform the task and the reason for it. State the arrangements you have made to help the authorized person carry out the specified task. Make sure to state the start date and the duration of the authorization. Maintain a professional tone even if you know the other person on a personal level. Close the letter on a positive tone and your signature.

Letters to Doctors, Nurses, Hospitals

Letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals are, simply, letters written to doctors, nurses, hospitals and/or any other physician or qualified practitioner of medicine. Such letters could be inquiry letters to inquire after patients' medical records or thank-you letters to thank the recipients for saving the life of loved ones. In rare cases, letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals could be complaint letters to file a complaint about inadequate medical care. All letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals are formal in nature. Depending on the content, the letters can be addressed to individuals or to all relevant bodies.

There are few things that you should keep in mind when writing letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals. For starters, you need to address the letters to the right persons. State the purpose of your letter from the word go. If you are writing to thank a specific doctor who saved your life, for instance, mention the name of the doctor and pass your message accordingly. If you are writing to ask for your medical records, provide any relevant information that may be required by the hospital. Close the letter by asking for a response or by calling the recipient to action.
