In most cases, when talking about a letter of permission, you probably imagine the letter requested by a school teacher which allows a child to go for a school trip. There are many other examples of such letters. For example, you may need a permission letter for giving your child a medical treatment or for letting your child travel abroad with another family member or you may even need such letter as a businessman, asking for permission to use some trademarked material.

Of course, there are some main rules on how to write a permission letter, or in other words, its structure and fundamental rules.

Address the letter of permission

The first thing you have to do is to address the letter of permission. It is very important, actually, because ANY type of letter must be adressed to someone and the permission letter is not an exception. The addresser may be not only a person, but organisation or company as well. When addressing the letter, you should always write the full name of the person (company, ogranisation etc.).

The purpose of the permission letter

After you have mentioned the person or the name of the organisation where you want to address this letter to, now it is time to move to the purpose. Begin the letter with some phrases which clearly explain the whole sense of your message. Imagine that you are a mother or a father, for example, and you are writing a letter of permission to a babysitter asking for medical care for your child. At first, you have to mention your name and who are you in general and then you have to write the purpose itself, which, in our case, is asking for a medical care.

Sign and date

After everything is done, it is essential to leave a signature at the end of your permission letter. The signature always has to be located at the end of your letter. You should prove that you have written this letter. Also, there must be your name near the signature, and of course, a date. The name shows who wrote the letter, signature proves it and the date shows when the letter was written.

Now, as you already know the structure of the letter, we are ready to present you some tips on how to write it.

Formal language

Even if your permission letter is addressed to someone you know, your friend or any of your relatives, do not forget that it must be formal. Just remember that it is a document. And the document cannot be written in informal style.

Grammar and spelling

As we have already mentioned formal language, paying attention to grammar and spelling are essential as well. Again, you have to remember that it is a document and there are no mistakes allowed.

Details

This is one more thing you should always keep in mind. As you know, there are a lot of names you have to mention in the permission letter, and of course, it is necessary to write all the names and all the addresses right. A name written incorrectly can show your disrespect to the addresser.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
