Sample Permission Letter

Permission letter is a widely used letter and it serves as both formal business document and informal family letter. When writing a permission letter, you ask for a person to grand you an authority to do something or take decisions on his behalf or as a reply to a previous letter, you write this letter to accept his request and grant him the permission he wants. As it’s a routine process in an organization or a business that different departments or employees take decision or big steps in order to continue the working of the company, they don’t always know if they have the needed authority or if the person at the other end will accept their permission regarding a specific situation, these employees write permission letters to their seniors or head office to make sure if they have the right and power to take a step at their own and if the other party will accept their signatures on official documents.

Other than these business firms, there are a lot of other people who use permission letters. For example school authorities use a permission letter to inform the parents that their son or girl wants to go to a trip and they are asked to grant the permission if the school is allowed to take them or not or when an art gallery sends you a letter to tell you that someone is interested in your painting or other piece of art and if the gallery is allowed to sell that item. Where in the return you write them if they have your permission or not. When it comes to relationships, a friend can ask you to permit him to submit your documents on your behalf for a contest or competition or something like that if you are not in town but soon will be.

How to Write a Permission Letter:

  • As this is a very formal and official document, it’s important that you only use a proper company letterhead to send out this permission letter and you better compose it on computer instead of writing it by hand.
  • Offices receive thousands of letters on daily basis so you better put a subject in the very beginning to clear the main purpose of writing this letter or some idiot may think it as a spam and through it without reading properly.
  • The key ingredient of this letter is to get permission of someone and it’s better if it comes from the right person otherwise it can create a big mess so address to the proper person with him full name and department address.
  • After that state the key purpose of writing the letter and if it’s possible, make points to make it more clear and easy to process.
  • As you are asking for permission to do something, it’s necessary to add a little about how that person can contact you which means a proper explanation and your full contact information.
  • At the end, just add a little note about how many days that person has before giving the permission such as two days after the letter has received.
  • If it’s possible, always follow-up the letter by sending out a verification letter or phone call to make sure that they have received your letter and there is no misunderstanding in the whole process.

Brief Description of Medical Leave Permission Letter:

There are many situations when a person has to take some days off of work. If you are one of those who love their work and don’t like to take vacations or days off of work, there are still some particular situations when you will need to take leave from your work. For example, you have a medical condition and for the treatment, you need to stay at home or in hospital which would only be possible when you have taken time off of work and informed the administration about the arrangement.

For females, it’s mostly the maternity leave usually 1 week before the expected delivery day and up to 1 month after the birth of their child. If you want to find out if you will get paid during the leave or not, you need to ask this in the permission request letter. The letter that you will receive from the administration or management of your company will also include the details of your salary situation for your days off of work.

Subject: request for medical leave

 

Dear Mrs. Buckley,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion and I hope you are planning a party for your workmates very soon as we all are waiting for congratulating you as a friend and coworker. But, it’s not the only thing I am here to talk about.

I am working in this company for more than 5 years and as I love my job a lot, I have never taken a sick day off of work as my plan was to live to work but that planned has back fired as I am having chronic back pain problem. I never thought I would see a doctor just because I spend too much time on my job but as it turned out, I had to do it. After a detailed diagnosis, my Physician advised me that I am having this problem because of my work schedule and recommended that if I don’t want it to get very severe, I have to take a couple of weeks off of work.

I have attached doctor’s report with this request letter and I would like you to process my application for a medical leave of 5 weeks starting next week. I am waiting to hear from you very soon.

Yours sincerely,

Timothy L. Parker

Sample Copyright Permission Letter

From:

Katherine Horton

Phil student

Berkley University

To:

Janine Morgan

Scholar and researcher

Date: 17 August 2015

Subject: Copyright Permission Letter

 

Dear Mrs. Morgan,

As I have introduced myself, I am a student of M. Phil at Berkley University and as my education is about to end, I have to submit a final research paper in the class. The thesis that I am working on relates to role of America in Middle East and Asia and I have to appreciate your efforts on this subject because there is no research paper on this topic better than yours.

As the part of my thesis, I have to include some content from a well known and published author and I have chosen you. I didn’t know how to contact you so I talked to your publisher and he mentioned that this research paper is copyright protected. This means that if I want to use it in the thesis paper, I have to ask for your permission and this is what I am doing via this letter.

I need to use your research paper from page 45 to 47 in my thesis and I think it’s pretty obvious that I won’t change anything and I will publish as it is. Also, at the end, I will give credit to you and your efforts on this research. Kindly grant me the permission to use the above mentioned part of your research paper.

I hope I will hear from you very soon.

Yours sincerely,

Katherine Horton

Child Travel Permission Letter (For Care Taker)

When an underage kid or a child is traveling with a person who is not either of his or her parents, the state and the immigration department may need the consent of the actual parents of the child for the travelling in order to make sure that they have allowed the child to travel with another person. Care taker who wants to take an underage kid on a journey may need to ask permission from the real parents of the child and when he is at the airport; he will need to present the written and signed consent of the parents of the child. This letter is known as the child travel permission letter.

Brief Description of Child Travel Permission Letter:

As compared to adults and old people, it is very easy to manipulate underage kids and in order to make sure that the kids are safe and there is no harm done to them, most of the countries around the world require consent letter if you are traveling with a child. If you are a guardian or a care taker, you need to ask permission to both of the parents of the child and present their signed permission letter at the airport. On the other hand, if you are traveling with your own child but your spouse is not with you, you also need to present a signed consent from them showing that your spouse has allowed you to travel with your child without them.

Without this letter, it is not possible for anyone to travel out of the country with an underage child even if it’s the actual parent of the child who is traveling with him. As a care taker, there are several different situations when you need to travel with a  child who is under your supervision as allowed by his or her parents but you can’t just decide to travel with them and buy them a seat on the airplane. For traveling abroad, you need to inform the parents of the child and ask for their permission. If they agree, they will write you a permission letter and you need to present this letter at the airport.

My Dear Cathy,

I received your email yesterday and I found out that your brother is in critical condition at San Diego National hospital. Feeling really sorry about that. I know you feel to be with your family right now and your mother and father would also like to be with them in this difficult time.

You requested me to allow you to travel with Adam to San Diego in order to take care of your brother but because Adam is underage, he can’t travel with your without our permission. Please consider this letter as my permission for taking Adam with you on this trip. I have talked to Sam and he also agrees with me so you have permission from both of us.

Please make sure you take asthma medicine for Adam with you and don’t forget to call me when you land in San Diego tomorrow. Take care of yourself and Adam.
