International travel is generally tightly regulated. They require parents to give their children’s companions to express permission to handle their children. This permission is usually asked for at the airport immigration department before any departure from the country. In the absence of this express permission, the person in the custody of the child is normally ordinarily deemed to have abducted the child. Knowing how to draft this letter is hence a crucial thing to do. We have prepared two samples; one paper and the other e-mail to help you out in this.
