Letter of Attendance
A letter of attendance has two main functions, either to request one by allowed to attend a specific event or institution, or to confirm that attendance has already taken place.
For example, if someone wanted to attend a function, they would write a letter of attendance politely stating so, and why they are eligible.
On the other hand a university may send a letter of attendance to a former graduate confirming the time period that they were admitted by the institution. This letter may then be used in applications for jobs or other educational programs as proof that they studied there.
It is also common practice at larger funerals to complete a letter of attendance stating who you are and the relationship to the deceased.
A letter of attendance can be written by someone who wishes to request or confirm attendance to a specific event. For example, if someone wanted to attend a special conference, they would write a letter of attendance stating that they would indeed like to attend.

Waynesboro, VA 22980
Dear Mrs. Stovall,
I have recently become aware of the Future Sales Stars conference you will be organizing on November 4th, 2009. The reason I am writing this letter is that I would like to attend this special event!
I am an up and coming salesperson, and I really feel that my attendance to this event would help me progress and reach my sales related goals! I have learned almost everything there is to know from books and videos, but I think attending this conference would send me to the next level!
Please consider my request to attend your event. There is nothing else that would help me in my career more than a seat at the Future Sales Stars conference.
Sincerely,
Amanda D. Hartwell
