A letter of authorization is handed to a bank to allow a second party to manage either your account in general (a general letter of authorization) or a specific action (such as cashing in checks on your behalf).
Here is a standard template I have quickly drafted for you, I hope this helps:
Name
Address
Phone

Date:
