This Letter of Intent (LOI) can be used for any commercial transaction, such as confirming interest in a software product with a client. It is purposely kept lightweight and simple, where the key commercial terms can be filled in. It is not a legally binding document, but makes reference to a potentially future "Formal Agreement".
