How To Write a Confirmation Letter

Letters of confirmation are acknowledgment letters sent primarily to confirm details or to put any oral agreements in writing.

Other reasons for confirmation letters vary from acknowledging: an invitation, a resignation, the receipt of a report, a résumé, a suggestion, the anniversary of a customer’s company, or to respond to feedback (negative or postive).

Appointments, travel, meetings, events, conferences, and other time-specific tasks should be confirmed in writing. A simple memo or e-mail does the trick. Other types of confirmations include reviewing business agreements or decisions, confirming oral agreements, and confirming a decision.
