A proposal we are submitting requires a power of attorney:
An authorized representative of the Consultant shall sign the original submission letters in the required format for both the Technical Proposal and...the Financial Proposals and shall initial all pages of both. The authorization shall be in the form of a written power of attorney attached to the Technical Proposal.
Which is kind of bizarre, because I'm a Director (and shareholder) of the company so of course I can sign proposal documents.... anyway so I asked our company secretary and they want to charge USD250 for such a letter, which sounds outrageous.
We were thinking of just drafting something and getting one of the other Directors to sign it. Does anyone know what these things are or if there is a "proper" format for one? I've never come across such a stupid request before (I think... some of my philipinne proposals had some odd stuff in there!) and I've been a Director for 6 years.....!
