When I published "200 Letters For Job Hunters," some of the letters were written or co-written by my clients. The publisher required a legal release before they could be printed. This is the one I used. I filed each release with a copy of the approved materials. This is not legal advice. Always consult your attorney before finalizing any release or legal document.
