Authorization letters are very important in the official written communication. These letters are written with various intentions for various purposes. To put it simply, an authorization letter is sent when there is need of someone else to perform certain tasks on your behalf. You have to write such letters for your interactions in the medical, legal and industrial fields and also for personal purposes. By sending this letter, you make sure that there is no scope for ambiguity, complexity and controversy. When the concerned organization or the individual receives the letter of authority, they have no objection to the person sent by you to go through the official or legal procedure on your behalf.
Though the format of the authorization letter remains more or less the same, the content changes with the intent of the letter. One is supposed to be particular about selection of words. The language in such a letter should be simple but formal. One should try to keep the letter as short and precise as possible. There is no scope for flowery language in such a letter. The tone of these letters is serious as compared to the family letters which are light in tone. However one should also note that if you know the recipient well, you can be a bit casual in your tone.
You might need to write an authorization letter for medical treatment. If the person to whom medical treatment is to be given is not present or not in a condition to give the permission for the treatment, someone from the family has to sign a letter of authorization. Thus the patient can get the treatment without any legal hindrances because of the letter of authorization. Therefore it is necessary for the patient to get the authorization letter signed by someone trustworthy and responsible.
You also get lawyers who collect the necessary documents which are required for legal purpose to give authorization. The person who handles the authority shoulders all the responsibility of the consequences of the treatment. If the patient shows any bad after effects of the treatment, the hospital authorities are not to be blamed for that. Authorization letter for medical treatment has to be drafted neatly and quite seriously. The letter should be crisp, simple and precise.
