This demand draft is for the purpose of paying my tuition fees, and I am currently out of the country.

Please release the cheque to Mr. Doe only upon his presentation of this signed authorization letter and his valid government-issued ID. I also attach a copy of my own ID for your verification.

Thank you for your prompt handling.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Attached: Copy of my ID, Copy of representative’s ID An authorization letter to claim money is a simple yet powerful tool. When written clearly and accompanied by proper identification, it ensures that your money reaches you—even when you cannot be there in person. Always tailor the letter to the specific institution’s requirements, keep a copy for yourself, and when large sums are involved, consider notarization or a power of attorney.

I hereby authorize my brother, (Social Security No. XXX-XX-1234), to receive the settlement amount of $7,850.00 on my behalf.

Sincerely,
