CONTRACT LETTER

An agreement between two or more competent parties in which an offer is made

and accepted, and each party benefits. The agreement can be formal, informal,
written, oral or just plain understood. Some contracts are required to be in writing in
order to be enforced. (2) An agreement between two or more parties which creates
obligations to do or not do the specific things that are the subject of that
agreement. Examples of a contract are a lease, a promissory note, or a rental
agreement.

This term, in its more extensive sense, includes every description of agreement, or
obligation, whereby one party becomes bound to another to pay a sum of money, or
to do or omit to do a certain act; or, a contract is an act which contains a perfect
obligation. In its more confined sense, it is an agreement between two or more
persons, concerning something to be, done, whereby both parties are hound to
each other, or one is bound to the other. Blackstone defines it to be an agreement,
upon a sufficient consideration, to do or not to do a particular thing. A contract has
also been defined to be a compact between two or more persons.

Contracts are divided into express or implied. An express contract is one where the
terms of the agreement are openly uttered and avowed at the time of making, as to
pay a stated price for certain goods.

Express contracts are of three sorts: 1. By parol, or in writing, as

contradistinguished from specialties. 2. By specialty or under seal. 3. Of record.

A parol contract is defined to be a bargain or voluntary agreement made, either

orally or in writing not under seal, upon a good consideration, between two or more
persons capable of contracting, to do a lawful act or to omit to do something, the
performance whereof is not enjoined by law.

From this definition it appears, that to constitute a sufficient parol agreement, there
must be:

1st. The reciprocal or mutual assent of two or more persons competent to contract.
Every agreement ought to be so certain and complete, that each party may have an
action upon it; and the agreement would be incomplete if either party withheld his
assent to any of its terms. The agreement must, in general, be obligatory on both
parties, or it binds neither. To this rule there are, however, some exceptions, as in
the case of an infant's contract. He may always sue, though he cannot be sued on
his contract.

2d. There must be a good and valid consideration, motive or inducement to make
the promise upon which a party is charged, for this is of the very essence of a
contract under seal and must exist, although the contract be reduced to writing.
3d. There must be a thing to be done, which is not forbidden; or a thing to be
omitted, the performance of which is not enjoined by law. A fraudulent or immoral
contract or one contrary to public policy is void.

The second kind of express contracts are specialties, or those which are made
under seal, as deeds, bonds, and the like; they are not merely written, but delivered
over by the party bound. The solemnity and deliberation with which, on account of
the ceremonies to be observed, a deed or bond is presumed to be entered into,
attach to it an importance and character which do not belong to a simple contract.
In the case of a specially, no consideration is necessary to give it validity, even in a
court of equity. When, a contract by specialty has been changed by a parol
agreement, the whole of it becomes a parol contract.

The highest kind of express contracts are those of record such as judgments,
recognizances of bail, and in England, statutes merchant and staple, and other
securities of the same nature, entered into with the intervention of some public
authority.

Implied contracts are such as reason and justice dictates, and which, therefore, the
law presumes every man undertakes to perform; as if a man employs another to do
any business for him or perform any work, the law implies that the former
contracted or undertook to pay the latter as much as his labor is worth; or if one
takes up goods from a tradesman without any agreement of price, the law
concludes that he contracts to pay their value.

Contracts considered in relation to their substance are either commutative or

independent, principal or accessory.

Commutative contracts are those in which what is done, given or promised by one
party is considered as equivalent to, or in consideration of what is done, given or
promised by the other.

Independent contracts are those in which the mutual acts or promises have no
relation to each other, either as equivalents or as considerations.

A principal contract is one entered into by both parties, on their accounts, or in the
several qualities they assume.

An accessory contract is made for assuring the performance of a prior contract,

either by the same parties or by others, such as surety ship, mortgage and pledges.

Contracts, considered in relation to the motive for making them, are either
gratuitous or onerous. To be gratuitous the object of a contract must be to benefit
the person with whom it is made without any profit or advantage received or
promised as a consideration for it. It is not, however, the less gratuitous if it proceed
either from gratitude for a benefit before received, or from the hope of receiving
one hereafter, although such benefits be of a pecuniary nature. Any thing given or
promised as a consideration for the engagement or gift; any service, interest or
condition imposed on what is given or promised, although unequal to it in value,
makes a contract onerous in its nature.

Considered in relation to their effects, contracts are either certain or hazardous. A

contract is certain when the thing to be done is supposed to depend on the will of
the party or when, in the usual course of events, it must happen in the manner
stipulated. It is hazardous when the performance of that which is one of its objects
depends on an uncertain event.

Some divide contracts under the five following heads:

Into reciprocal and unilateral.

Into consensual or those which are formed by the mere consent of the parties such
as sale, hiring and mandate; and those in which it is necessary there should be
something more than mere consent, such as loan of money, deposit or pledge,
which from their nature require a delivery of the thing (rei) whence they are called
real contracts.

Into first contracts of mutual interest which are such as are entered into for the
reciprocal interest and utility of each of the parties, as sales exchange, partnership
and the like.

Contracts of beneficence which are those by which only one of the contracting
parties is benefited, as loans, deposit and mandate.

Mixed contracts, which are those by which one of the parties confers a benefit on
the other, receiving something of inferior value in return, such as a donation subject
to a charge,

Into principal and accessory.

Into those which are subjected by the civil law to certain rules and forms, and those
which ate regulated by mere natural justice.

CONSENT LETTTER

A letter of consent is a letter that you write when you are giving another person
permission to do something on your behalf, such as allowing a neighbor to take a
car to college.

Steps

1. 1

Know when to provide a letter of consent. Examples include:

o Children traveling alone or with one parent in some countries;

o When you ask another person to do something for you that involves
using valuable items, such as loaning them a car;
 o When you want someone to sign documents on your behalf or attend
meetings on your behalf

2. Prepare the letter. The following basics should be included:

o The letter should be addressed at large, for example, address it to "To Whom It May
Concern".
o Commence with "I/we .............................. (Add in full name)". Also include your address and
other relevant contact details.
o Provide name and address of person to whom you are giving permission.
o Provide details of the activity/action/situation that you are giving permission for.
3. Sign the letter in front of a witness. Do not use the person to whom you are giving permission as the
witness - find a third person.

CONSENT FOR MINOR CHILDREN TO TRAVEL

For single (divorced, widowed, or simply married, but solo) parents, grandparents, or family
friends taking children on a vacation, there is an often overlooked planning step that can end a
vacation before it begins the permission letter.

Airlines and immigration agents can deny minor children initial boarding or entry to foreign
countries without proper proof of identification and citizenship and a permission letter from
absent or non-custodial parents.

According to Department of State Publication 10542: "With the number of international child
custody cases on the rise, several countries have instituted passport requirements to help prevent
child abductions. For example, Mexico has a law that requires a child traveling alone, or with
only one parent, or in someone else's custody, to carry written, notarized consent from the absent
parent or parents. "

Proof of identification and citizenship is relatively simple to obtain a passport. The permission
letter is a bit more vexing since most people aren't aware of the necessity to have it, let alone
what it should include.

An attorney could prepare a formal affidavit, but a simple letter-style document is adequate as
long as it is signed before a notary duly authorized to administer oaths. To be acceptable, it
should include specific details about the trip, the custodial adult(s), and the child (ren). While no
one wants to think about medical emergencies while on vacation, it is also wise to include
consent for the adult to authorize emergency treatment for the child in case the need should arise.
Some parents, particularly mothers who don't share the same last name as their children, take no
chances and also carry a copy of their divorce decree or, in the case of widows, a death
certificate.

After going to all the 'trouble' to secure proper documentation, it could turn out that no one even
asks for it. Why did you bother? Because if you hadn't, the possibility exists that your plane may
have taken off without you and your very disappointed family.

Here is a sample parental consent letter that can be modified for individual purposes and printed:
