I request you to please cooperate and do the needful.

An authorization letter should not be very lengthy. Avoid use of complicated words and phrases. Keep the letter simple. In case there is more than one document to be collected it is better to mention a list of those. Do mention the personal contact number to avoid any unwanted circumstances. Hand over the letter to the person whom you trust. The person who is being given the letter should have all the identity proofs and related documents while going to the bank.

Get benefited by this sample letter. We sincerely wish that the official procedures are not painstaking.
