Legal Question in Business Law in Indiana
Signatures on documents
I was inquiring whether or not if a signature makes a typed letter a legal document. I write letters for my employer and do not include a signature. However, the letters are on company letter head, does this make a difference? Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: Signatures on documents
Signatures are not required for a legally enforceable written document, if that's what you are asking. But they are important evidence of authenticity, so an unsigned document can be challenged more easily than a signed document. It would seem a bit shady if unsigned documents are routinely being used by your employer.
