Letter of Permission

The Perfect Letter of Permission for Shopping Appointments, required for all guests

 A guest may shop for your organization if authorized with a typed written letter of consent faxed to our office prior to the day of their appointment. Permission letters for schools can only be signed by the principal.  This letter must be on the organization’s letterhead and include:    

  •    The signature of an authorized person.
  •    The name(s) of person(s) to be authorized.
  •    The date of their appointment (if applicable).
  •    The length of time for their authorization (this period of time cannot exceed three months).
  •    Whether or not the person being authorized can receive durable goods (furniture, computers, etc.) in addition to consumable goods (paper, fabric, etc).

Please be very careful as to whom you grant authorization.  Think of it as giving someone your credit card to shop. Also remember, as stated in your contract, all materials taken are to be used for your organization only.  An example of the authorization letter is below.

1. Please type on your organization’s letterhead, edited as appropriate

2. Fax (or mail) your signed version to MFTA at 718-729-3941

3. Give a copy to the shopper to keep and bring to each appointment.
