Take Action
Letter #1:
On August 23, 2001, you authorized me to purchase maintenance supplies for the Ballarat Condominiums. I will do my best to keep written records justifying all expenditures, save all receipts, and notify you in advance of any nonroutine purchases.
It would be helpful if you would confirm this authorisation, so the vendors will recognize me as your agent. If you would, please sign this document, save a copy, and return the original to me at your convenience. I want everyone to feel good about the authority you’ve given me and will do all I can to continue to make Ballarat Condominiums a great place to live.
Letter #2:
As I understand the directives you have given me, I am authorized to:
If the other managers question my authorisation, I will refer them to you. I sincerely appreciate the latitude you have given me to get the job done. I hope to justify the confidence you have placed in my abilities to improve the quality of the final product and accelerate its release.
Letter #3:
This letter is to confirm your verbal authorisation to begin work on the addition to your offices at 1600 Main Street. As I mentioned, the cost–excluding any later changes–will be $56.00 per square foot. We will use the blueprints drawn up by Green and Associates and dated May 6, 2001. Please indicate your agreement with these terms by signing below and returning the original to my attention. We will begin once we have written authorisation in hand.
Thank you for choosing us to work on this project. We are excited to start.
Letter #4:
This letter is a follow-up to our phone conversation last Friday, March 12. I need written authorisation so I can act as your representative in securing a location for a new office in this city. As we discussed last week, I will select three possible sites that you can inspect next month.
As soon as I have confirmation of our agreement, I will begin my search for an appropriate location for the new branch of the Green Corporation. I have enjoyed our telephone discussions and look forward to meeting you and showing you around the city next month.
