Letter of Authorization for Point of Contact from Beneficial Owner
Hello,
I am being asked for a LOA from the beneficial owner approving the point of contact who is not a beneficial owner, as part of the business verification program being called out on my Account Health Page.
I have seen example letter for the Self Attestation document, but where can I find a similar example Letter of Authorization for the purpose of this request (ie NOT for brand or license, rather for approval of point of contact on the account)
Looking forward to your reply so I can format the document correctly.
Thanks!

Hello,
The example looks good but I was hoping to get an official example from Amazon, as they provided for the Self-Attestation - just to be sure there isn't anything specific required that could have my verification denied.
Thanks

Hi @Seller_qLKmCJeoD01uK,
have you seen the template in the "What does Amazon Seller Wallet expect to receive as a letter of authorization for the point of contact?" section at Seller Wallet registration general FAQ?

Letters of Authorizations, the trick request by Amazon.
Did you notice that Amazon always asks for a manufacturer’s invoice first, then asks for/or a letter of authorization? Amazon knows how businesses operate.
If you have a commercial retailers account with a manufacturer, your invoice as described above will suffice. You will not need a Letter of Authorization because the invoice says it all. If you really need one, your manufacturer Rep handling your account could get one for you.
If you do not actually have a commercial account with the manufacturer, Amazon knows companies will not give any letter of authorization to individuals without a commercial account.
