Writing a Permission letter
A permission letter is an official formal letter that is sent to higher authorities to request permission to attend an event or use a facility, request leave, and so on. It is important to use a polite tone when writing a permission letter. It is important to accurately write the addresses of the sender and receiver, along with the date that the letter was written. If both of you are familiar with one another, it is not necessary to mention the sender's addresses.
The subject line should include the purpose of your letter, followed by the greetings or salutations. The body of your letter should include the reason you are asking permission. When closing the letter, mention the signature, name, and designation of sender.
