10 Most Common Authorization Letter Samples

At some point in life, we may have to face some situations where we need an authorization letter. Sometimes we require an authorization letter as a result of some mandatory requirement and sometimes we are simply authorized by a person to act on his/her behalf as his/her representative. This person could be anyone like a partner, a colleague, a friend, or a family member, depending upon the situation in which such an authorization letter is written. To put it simply, an authorization letter is a letter that is written so as to officially grant permission to another party to perform a specific action.

An authorization letter is usually written in cases where the original person is unable to perform some major task that is originally required to be performed by him/her. This inability of the original person to perform that task might be caused by his/her unavailability, sickness, or absence. As authorizing another person to act on your behalf is a sensitive matter, so you should be careful that the authority is granted duly and properly. In this article, we have provided you with some free and editable authorization letter samples. These authorization letter samples show 10 different and most common situations where an authorization letter is required to be written.
