Authorization Letter For Salary

How to write a letter to authorize someone to collect a salary on your behalf?

  • Identify the object that will be collected, in your case it is your salary.

  • Be specific if needed. For example, say "my January salary" or "my end of service salary". If you want to authorize a repeated action then you can just say "my salary".

  • Identify the authorized person. Provide their name as well as their ID number.

  • State an expiration date for the actions.
