Letter of Intention Sample

The letter of intent is a type of non-binding agreement that contains commitments that can later be formalized by drafting a contract.

If signed by several parties, there is also talk of a memorandum of understanding.

Letters of intent resemble written contracts but are generally not binding on the parties as a whole.

Many letters of intent, however, contain provisions that are mandatory, such as non-disclosure of agreements, a good faith covenant, or willingness to promise exclusive rights to negotiate.

Purpose of Intention letter:

Some purposes may be:

Clarify the key points of a complex operation for the convenience of the parties.
Officially declare that the parties are currently negotiating, as in a proposed merger or joint venture.
Provide guarantees in case the agreement collapses during the negotiation.

A letter of intent can also be considered as a memorandum of understanding, a list of conditions or a discussion sheet.

Although the terms refer to different documents, the differences are often of a formal nature, reflecting different styles of writing or business customs, and not a substantial difference in what these different documents are intended to achieve.
