What is a Gift Letter?

We can define a gift letter as a legal statement that ensures your bank or lender that the funds that came into your bank account are a gift rather than a loan. Note that a gift letter isn’t a promissory note. A gift letter from a donor (typically relatives or friends) explains that the funds are being given without any expectation of repayment. Also, the letter specifies who’s gifting the money as well as where the donor’s money is coming from.

Examples of Gift Letters

Find the best lawyer for your project

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
