In business and employment, different parties get into mutual understanding for involvement in certain business transactions or contracts. The business transaction could involve the supply of goods or services, contract to build a structure or import goods on behalf of a client. To protect the interests of both parties, a letter of agreement is drafted and signed by both parties as a legally binding document covering the terms of service or contract. The letter of agreement template can also be used for employment purposes.
The agreement letter is used when two parties are entering into a contract and may include the following situations:

In most cases, the letter of agreement is drafted by the party issuing the business opportunity because they are the ones who will benefit from the goods supplied or services offered and at the same time make payments. The issuing party crafts their terms and, in rare cases, negotiate the terms with the recipient before aligning the agreement.
When the letter of agreement is signed by the two parties, it becomes legally binding. Therefore, it must include every detail regarding the contract/business terms because any loopholes in the agreement could render it infective in a court of law.
The letter of agreement can be written following an MoU format for a better flow of the content. When writing a letter of agreement, follow the following simple rules:
Start by preparing the letter of agreement template, which can be downloaded online or designed using a computer and include the following details in the form.
The difference between a letter of agreement and a contract is thin though the two serve two parties and involve business or service delivery.
A letter of agreement is drafted by the involved parties who mutually agree to supply a service or goods and does not involve a lawyer or legal entities to witness. In other words, the two parties sit together and draft or download a sample letter of agreement and discuss the terms before writing them down.
A contract is different because it is a legal agreement between two parties and either drafted by an attorney or the client who then involved an attorney to witness the contract for supply goods or services and the supplier must abide by the contract.
A letter of agreement precedes a formal contract and sets the pace towards the preparation and signing of a contract. In most cases, a letter of agreement will be drafted and signed by the parties to give time to the supplier to start sourcing for the goods/services being sure that the contract will not be given to any other party. A contract should follow the letter of an agreement after some days.
A contract is a final document issued before the commencement of a service or supply of goods. Once the supplier receives and signs the contract document, it’s the final and can start the process of service or goods delivery as per the contract requirements.
The letter of agreement can be revoked mutually by the two parties outside a court of law but a contract is legally binding and cannot be revoked unless through a legal entity. For example; if two parties enter into a three-year marriage contract, no party is bound to break the contract unless through a court.
An agreement letter cannot be used for evidence in a court of law unless signed by the two parties but a contract’s legality stands once the document is signed by the two parties.
The letter of agreement can take effect without the two parties signing but a contract cannot take effect unless the two parties sign. For example, a distributor can agree to supply a contractor with cement without signing the agreement letter and the deal goes on smoothly without any hitches but in the case of a contract, all involved parties must sign. Otherwise, the contract will be deemed null and void.
When signing the letter of agreement, there are no fees payable by any party to make the document binding, but all that the parties need to do is to sign. In the case of a contract, the winning party pays a certain amount of money through their insurance provider or financial institution for the document to be binding.
