Informal letter of agreement
An informal letter of agreement is a simple yet effective letter that can be used to confirm the details of the project or an assignment without actually being formal. This type of agreement is usually used for low budget projects that aren’t very large in nature. Usually anything done under a corporate level of agreement is done informally. However, large projects usually require the presence of a lawyer.
Starting to Write
Thank the client for their order and their business.
Clarify the details of the project and the general size of the project.
List the fee for the project and what it will cost.
Lay out the payment terms of the project.
If applicable for the project, layout a payment schedule.
If needed (sometimes it’s not), place a position for the applicant to sign and date the letter.
