Dear Seniors,
I have been asked to write a special appointment letter for the brother of a politically important person, to give us some leverage as a company.This person will get One lac as salary and the designation will be Director, Development. However, he will never come to office, or really do any work His appointment letter must look impressive, but it has to be without any regulations.
I started editing our standard format, but I had to omit 80% it, and it doesn't look impressive any more. I am asking for a format or some guidance.
Thank you.
Sadi.

Dear Sadi,
I appreciate your effort and interest to improve yourself. It doesn't matter whom we issue a letter for, it only matter how standard our communications are. Your effort cannot be shadowed by the halo of reasons , but purpose.
Please use official language rather than using the business jargons , such as bottom-line and agility!
The terms needs to b published with clear details with a mention to the steps on non-adherence. Such as guidelines setting the internal trading or even data security.
You can read many formats in this community and then research the best for your firm.
Trust this helps !

Hi Sadi,
The tips by (Cite Contribution)1979 are good.
It seems to me that the designation to be given to this person is that of \"Non-Executive Director\".
If you Google Terms of Engagement for Non-executive directors you will get a lot of good information.
If you email me on
harsh@hi-fly.org i can send you an example letter.

Actually, for such an appointment and for the purpose you are doing it, just make a normal appointment letter that you would make for any employee at director level. It does not matter what the terms say about attendance, etc. He knows you cant take action against him or deny his pay. So what you write does not matter.
Keeping the normal wording for the letter would ensure that it does not look any different from a normal employment, which may be important in any investigation by the authorities.
Keeping a designation of "Non-Executive Director" as suggested by Harsh makes a lot of sense

Hi Sadi,
I see the issue from a totally different angle. Ours is a professional forum meant to address professional queries and support best practices. Issuing a 'special' appointment letter to someone for the wrong reasons may not be in the best interest of the nation or the people. Perhaps there are certain short term benefits attached to the plan; but in the long run industry, business and professional education will take a beating.
Thanks

you just address to him and say that he has been appointed consultant and designated as director (development) on a consolidated consultation fee of one lac per month for a period of one year.this appointment can be extended from time to time on mutual terms and conditions.he should be abide by all terms and decitions taken by management on his cosultancy services from time to time.this is proper and risk free

Dear Sadi,
For a company registered under the company act 1956 an appointment of the director takes place by Board Resolution prepared by the Company Secretary of the company, thus an appointment letter can be skipped with that of a board resolution.
Hope it will Help.

It is not a big issue. You will have to adhere to the routine appointment letter. Ensure that the wording for his position should be " Non-Executive Director". However, you should also put the severance clause on either side to avoid litigations at a later date.
