Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / banking
German term or phrase: Auftragsschreiben
The document references an "Auftragsschreiben" in the context of a bank guarantee (performance guarantee).

I'm thinking "letter of intent" rather than "order letter" - anyone willing venture to confirm/deny?

agree  AmiHH: Or even just order. Definitely not order letter or letter of intent. An Auftragsschreiben should contain the official order in my opinion.
