The Business Letter of Confirmation is a essential commercial document used in England and Wales to formally document business arrangements and agreements. It serves multiple purposes: providing clear written evidence of what has been agreed, preventing misunderstandings, and creating a paper trail for audit and legal purposes. The document typically follows specific requirements under English law, including clear identification of parties, detailed description of the subject matter, and any relevant terms and conditions. Such letters are particularly important in situations where verbal agreements need to be documented or where complex arrangements need to be clearly confirmed.
