Prof. Boris Henderson
Dean of College
University of Maryland
Rough Street
Baltimore, MD 97412

Dear Prof. Henderson,

I am writing to apply for a Ph.D. program in Clinical Dentistry at your institution for the next academic year. I possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Surgery from the University of Leipzig and a Master’s Degree in Dental Science from Oxford University. I have been working as a Dentist at Cleveland Clinic for the past four years.

After completing my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I have been able to diagnose and treat hundreds of teeth problems. But since I look forward to addressing practically any kind of teeth issue globally, I feel advancing my education further is the most appropriate thing to do.

Your institution’s reputation and approach to studies contributed to my choice to attend graduate school. With my education so far, work experience, and unmatched desire for dentistry, I believe I am a great fit for this doctoral program.

Thanks for reading my application to this end. It would be my greatest honor to undertake my doctoral studies at this university. If you need any more information from me, do not hesitate to get in touch.

Sincerely,

Jack Scott

Michael Smith
Human Resources Manager
Excel Bank
High Avenue
Richmond, VA 71408

Dear Mr. Smith,

I hereby write to express my interest in working with Excel Bank’s Customer Service Department. Excel has been my bank of choice for close to two years now, and I’ve loved the way you do things. It’s no surprise this bank has been the most profitable in the country for six years back-to-back and has the largest customer base.

I graduated from the University of Exeter with a Public Relations degree in 2015. I also have years of customer service experience, having worked at Snowflake Credit Limited for three years and Golden Technologies for two years.

I have learned a lot at the workplace and made numerous contributions to the two organizations. For example, at Golden Tech, I devised digital marketing strategies that raised the number of customers threefold within my first year there. I also proposed new services at Snowflake that have seen the company’s profits increase by 42% in the three years.

If given a chance to join Excel Bank, I will be bringing on a mix of value and experience. I have been able to make an impact everywhere I worked, and I’m certain I’ll do the same at this bank. For further discussion, feel free to contact me at 541-205-5107 or email maryheller@gmail.com.

Respectfully yours,

Mary Heller

Dear Ms. Reina,

This letter is meant to inform you of my desire to purchase your property situated along Hamilton Avenue, Miami, FL. I got to know about the building through a real estate agent and immediately developed an interest in acquiring it.

I plan to expand my business in Miami at a place that my employees and I can access with ease. The market in the region is also growing, and my goal is to meet their needs. From my assessment, your property is best suited to be my next business premise.

Kindly let me know when you’ll be free so that we meet and talk about it further. It would also be my pleasure to take a walk at the property before we come to an agreement. Please contact me when ready to meet.

Sincerely,

Dr. Johnson Shaw
Program Director
The Johns Hopkins Hospital Program
Hope Road
New York, NY 46973

Dear Dr. Shaw,

I am writing to express my eagerness and interest in enrolling in the residency program at your medical school. I did an interview on April 15, 2026, and I am willing to accept a spot in your residency program should I be offered one. Your program was my first choice, and I believe it is the right one for me.

The residency program at Johns Hopkins Hospital excites me because it features a comprehensive curriculum that aligns with my long-term career goals. I believe it will expand my knowledge and strengthen my skills and abilities as a Surgeon. I’m confidently saying this since I know a few surgeons who undertook this program and are doing extremely well in their professions.

I think I’m the best candidate to take up this position because I emerged top of my class at the University of Nottingham Medical School, where I obtained my M.D. two years ago. While there, I led the research team that developed the Atrazine anesthetic. This anesthetic induces numbness within ten seconds of injection and remains effective for up to six hours. I did my thesis on the same, and it received praise from the world’s top medical professionals.

Given my education, experience, and fieldwork, I am well prepared to undertake your residency program. If given a chance, I will strive to maintain the reputation of The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Thanks for your time, and I hope you accept my request.

Best regards,

Magdalene Gretchen

Dear Mr. Wyatt,

Following the conversation we had over the phone, I am pleased to inform you that we will be purchasing your products from next week, if possible.

We took our time to study the companies that have previously bought your POS systems and were convinced they’re the best in the market at the moment. Our company has had transaction issues for a long time, and we strongly believe your electronics will help streamline our operations.

I, therefore, propose that you arrange a meeting at your convenient time so that we agree on the transaction details and seal the deal. I look forward to positive feedback as soon as possible. If you need any clarifications or have any concerns, please contact me straight away.

Sincerely,

Steve Willis

Dear Ms. Hines,

It has been an honor to serve Multiplex Inc. for the last three years as the Communications Assistant. I am writing this letter to officially apply for the Communications Officer role that fell vacant last month.

As a result, my efforts have seen the customer base grow by 35%, and revenues increase by 46%.

Letter of intent for real estate

A letter of intent for real estate is the document that opens a property deal. Before the lawyers draft a lease or purchase agreement, the buyer or tenant sends a real estate letter of intent that lays out the main terms both sides are agreeing to explore: the property, the proposed purchase price or monthly rent, the deposit, the length of the lease or the closing timeline, and any contingencies such as inspections or financing. A letter of intent in real estate is almost always non-binding — it is a good-faith summary that guides the formal contract, not the contract itself — so it should say so plainly. Whether you are writing a letter of intent to purchase a home, lease a retail space, or rent an apartment, choose “Real estate” in the generator above and it will include each of these sections and the non-binding language for you.

Letter of intent for a job

A letter of intent for a job is a close cousin of the cover letter, but it leans harder on enthusiasm and fit. People send a job letter of intent when they want to express strong, specific interest in a role or a company — sometimes for a posted position, sometimes to signal interest before one opens up. A good letter of intent for employment names the exact role and organization, makes a confident case for why you are the right person using real examples from your background, and says what you would bring if hired. Unlike a resume, it is written to persuade. If you are writing a career letter of intent or a letter of intent to work somewhere specific, pick “Job / Career” in the generator and it will build that argument around the details you provide.

Letter of intent for medical school or graduate school

A letter of intent for medical school, or any graduate program, is usually sent late in the admissions cycle — after an interview, or while you are on a waitlist — to tell a program it is your top choice. A strong medical school letter of intent, or a letter of intent for residency, does three things: it states clearly and sincerely that you would attend if admitted, it explains why that specific program fits your goals, and it adds any meaningful updates since you applied, such as new grades, research, or clinical experience. Keep it genuine and specific to the program, because admissions committees can spot a form letter instantly. Choose “School” in the generator above and it will structure your letter of intent for graduate studies around exactly these points.

Letter of intent to buy a business

A letter of intent to buy a business sets the terms of a potential acquisition before either side spends money on due diligence and legal work. A business letter of intent to purchase outlines who the parties are, what is being bought — the whole company, its assets, or a share of it — the proposed price and deal structure, the due-diligence period, and any expectations around exclusivity or confidentiality while the deal is explored. Like a real estate letter of intent, a letter of intent to purchase a business is typically non-binding except for a few specific clauses, and it should say so clearly to avoid any confusion with a final agreement. Select “Business” in the generator, enter your terms, and it will assemble the letter with the non-binding statement included.

FAQ

What is a Letter of Intent?

A letter of intent (also called a letter of interest) refers to a piece of writing that details the terms of a proposed deal or partnership between two parties. It can be used for various reasons: to show intent for scholarship, residency, lease or purchase real estate, personal property purchase, business negotiations, job, promotion, joint venture, merger, and acquisition transaction, etc.

How to Write a Letter of Intent

Like any other official letter, the opening line of your letter has to be interesting enough to capture the reader’s attention. You can write something specific or engaging either about yourself or the recipient. This can include the unique skills, passions, and experiences you bring to the table and how they align with the other party’s needs.

You also need to explain in your letter why you want to work with the recipient. You may have all it takes to work with them, but it’s essential to convince them why you chose them and not others.

Even though the whole point of writing a letter of intent is to show your interest in partnering with the recipient, ensure that they get a few takeaways from the letter. You can only achieve that by being concise and sticking to the letter’s purpose all through.

Is a Letter of Intent binding?

The language/wording used in a letter of intent determines whether it’s legally binding or not. Ordinarily, letters of intent contain provisions that clearly indicate they’re non-binding. However, words such as ‘Offer’ or ‘Agree’ show the letter is binding. Also, when conditional language is used, the letter becomes binding once the condition is fulfilled unless stated otherwise.

Even if the letters omit such disclaimers, a court can still rule that the letters are only expressing intent. To make the ruling, a court will rely on two main factors: the actions both parties take after signing the letter and the expressions of intent stated in the letter. If the court treats the letter of intent as a contract, it can rule it as binding.

The relationship between the two parties also can determine whether the letter of intent is binding. If two parties have a history of signing non-binding agreements, the court will most likely declare the latest letter of intent as non-binding.

If you don’t want your letter to be binding, it’s advisable to use strong non-binding language instead of relying on assumptions.

How does the letter of intent generator work?

The letter of intent generator on this page writes a complete, customized letter for you in a few seconds. You choose what your letter of intent is for, answer a few short questions — who you are, who it is addressed to, and the key terms or points you want to include — and the generator produces a finished letter structured for your situation. It is free, there is no sign-up, and nothing you enter is stored. Think of it as a faster alternative to filling in a blank template: instead of editing a generic sample, you get a letter built around your own details.

Is the letter of intent generator free?

Yes. You can create as many letters of intent as you need at no cost, with no account and no sign-up. Like every template and tool on this page, it is completely free to use.

What types of letters of intent can the generator create?

The generator has a mode for each of the most common situations. You can create a letter of intent for real estate to buy or lease a property, a business letter of intent to buy, sell, or partner, a letter of intent for a job, a letter of intent for medical school or graduate studies, or a general letter of intent for any other purpose. Each type follows the right structure and includes the sections that letter is expected to have.

Can I edit the letter and download it as a Word document or PDF?

Yes. Once the generator creates your letter of intent it appears in an editable box, so you can change any wording, add a detail, or adjust the terms. Whatever you end up with is exactly what you can copy to your clipboard, download as a Word document to keep editing, or save as a PDF to print or attach.

Does the generator create a non-binding letter of intent?

For real estate and business letters, the generator gives you the option to include clear non-binding language, stating that the letter is only a basis for negotiating a formal agreement. For a job or school letter of intent, binding language does not apply. Whether a letter of intent is binding ultimately depends on its wording, so if this matters for your situation, read the section above on whether a letter of intent is binding — and have a professional review anything with legal or financial stakes.
