Is a letter of acceptance to a job a legally binding document?

I'm not sure who wrote the letter of acceptance - the employer or the employee. Either way, I would not be asking such an important question (if it actually concerns you) on a site such as this. How do you know that the answers you get are correct? You need to ask a lawyer who specialises in employment law.


What does a s slash s mean on a signature line?

/s/ on a signature line means that the signature is on the original document, not on the copy that you're holding. It is a representation that the original document is properly signed, but for some reason you only have an unsigned copy of the document. An unsigned copy of a document may be used for reference only or it may be a file copy (when it is not necessary to have a signed copy of the document).


What computer part produces a soft copy?

A soft copy is an electronic copy. So if you are using MS Word for example you'd have a .doc file when you save a version of your document. A hard copy is a physical copy of your document i.e. when you print your document and you have a piece of paper in your hand.

Yes, the Notary is only required to verify that the person signing the document actually is the person whose signature appears on it. Whether or not the minor is legally capable of signing the document calls for a legal conclusion and is NOT a part of the Notary's job.

Does a notary have to know what is in the document he is notorizing?

Yes and no. The notary does not need to read every word of the document, and can not advise you as to the legality of the document. However, the notary does have to scan over the document for several purposes: (1) to ensure that there are no blank spaces; (2) to determine which type of notarial act is necessary; (3) to record the document description in his or her journal; (4) to ensure that the document does not require the notary to perform an act he is not authorized to do; (5) to determine that the underlying transaction does not appear to be fraudulent on its face. A notary need not be a lawyer and is not expected to know the detailed contents of a document. A notary does not need to know what a document says, what a document does, or whether the document is legal. A notary cannot tell you what kind of notarization your document requires. The document is presented to the notary, the notary crosses out any blank or incomplete areas, verifies the identities of the signers/signatures, and then performs a notarial act - either an acknowledgment or an oath - and that's it. If the document appears to be blatantly fraudulent or the notary suspects fraud or duress, the notary can refuse the notarizaton. The purpose of a notary is to verify that the person executing the document is signing it voluntarily, or that he/she took an oath that the contents of the document are true and correct. Notarization also verifies the identity of a person who appears before the notary, or that a copy of a document is true to the original. The purpose of having a document notarized is either (1) to assure that the people signing said document did so willingly or swore that the document is correct, and that they are who they say they are or (2) to assure people that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original. An affidavit, a type of notarized statement, is similar to speaking in court. Upon signing an affidavit, the signer swears by oath or affirmation that the words in the document are his/her words. The notary verifies that the person is who they claim to be and must witness the signature hitting the paper.
