Staff Answer

If you need to write a letter of permission for leave, explain clearly but concisely why you need to take off from work (e.g., to deal with a medical issue). You might also suggest how your work will be completed while you’re away—for example, you might arrange for someone to cover for you, or get some of your work done ahead of time to prevent a buildup. Provide specific dates so your boss will know how long you’ll be gone and when you expect to return.

Begin by putting your name and address in the upper lefthand corner, and then write the date underneath. Below that, write the name and address of the recipient. Follow with your salutation, the body of your letter, and your signoff, which should all be justified left. If there are any documents attached to your letter, write “Enc.:” or “Enclosures:” under your name, followed by a brief description of the enclosure (e.g., “Doctor’s note” or “Leave of Absence Form”).

Question

How can I ask for permission to study?

Community Answer

It depends on your situation really. Normally, tell the person in charge or the person you need to tell that you need to study and tell them why. They should say yes unless under exceptional circumstances.

Question

What form or letter of permission is needed in granting a friend to have access to confidential information health records or any processes for my best interest?

Community Answer

You become a "health proxy." Laws vary from state to state. In my state you become a health proxy by having a lawyer draft a document. The person you are becoming a health proxy for will need to sign and notarize this. In my state 2 witnesses are needed. You will need to determine your state's laws. It can cost around $200-$500, though if you already have a lawyer, they might do it for free.

Question

How do you write a letter for membership of a library?

Community Answer

I have never heard of a library requesting a letter of membership. You can always inquire at the library as to what they are looking for in such a letter. If it is a specialized library, simply write about why you are interested and talk about your reasons for wanting to become a member.

How do I write a permission letter to a company stating that I would like to use their products and company name for my school project?

Just put something like: "I am really inspired by your company and would like to use your name and products for my school project." Then explain what the project is/how you will be using their products. End the letter by thanking them for their time, and signing off, "Sincerely, [your name]."
