Document background
A Handwritten Authorization Letter is commonly used in Singapore when formal delegation of authority is required but needs to maintain a personal touch. This document type is particularly relevant when electronic authorizations are not accepted or when specific institutions require handwritten authorization. The letter must comply with Singapore's legal requirements, including the Evidence Act and Contract Law principles. It typically includes the authorizer's details, the authorized person's information, specific powers granted, duration of authorization, and any limitations. The handwritten nature adds an additional layer of authenticity and is often preferred for sensitive matters.
