[Date], To whom it may concern, for parcel carriers and depot staff, Dear Sir or Madam,
Authority for [Employee name] to collect parcels for [Your company]
I am the director of [Your company] and I authorise the person below to collect parcels, freight and registered post addressed to the company, and to sign for them.
The authority covers collecting parcels and freight addressed to [Your company], signing the carrier’s receipt, and paying a holding fee of up to $60. It does not cover opening an account, changing a delivery address, or anything addressed to a person rather than the company.
How this authority ends. It ends on [Date] without anything further being done, may be cancelled before then by written notice from me, and ends immediately if [Employee name] stops working for the company. A carrier that is unsure should call [Phone] and ask for the director.
Please ask to see photographic identification before releasing anything., , Yours faithfully,
