Dear Milagros,

It is always good to play safe, since regulations can change from one day to another and some agents may have a different view (believe me I witnessed it more than you can ever imagined) on how to apply them.

Below it is a sample of the letter:

LETTER OF CONSENT TO TRAVEL

I ___________________________________________________
      NAME OF PARENT
provide my consent for my child(ren)  ____________________________________________
           NAME OF CHILD(REN)
to travel with
                                            
__________________________________ to ___________________________ from
NAME(S) OF ADULT TRAVEL COMPANION(S)        COUNTRY/COUNTRIES

________ to ______ .
DATE        DATE


List specific travel information in the space below such as airline, flight number, cruise line and ship or tour operator.)  

___________________________________________________________________
