Letters of consent are used in many contexts. Essentially, you write a letter of consent to give someone permission to do something or use something that belongs to you. However, unlike a simple letter of permission, a letter of consent has legal significance. Treat the letter seriously, typing it in business letter format and signing it in ink in the presence of a notary public. For many letters of consent, you can find a template to use. If you have to draft the letter yourself, keep it brief and to the point.
