Dear [Recipient / reviewer],

I propose to return the company equipment listed below through the authorised process.

RECEIPT — COMPLETE ONLY AFTER ACTUAL HANDOVER
Actual date / receiving person and authority / items received / observed exceptions / evidence reference:
[Actual Receipt]
Receiving acknowledgement: ____________________

This record concerns equipment custody. It does not by itself settle wages, expenses, alleged damage or other claims.

Your next moves

  1. Complete the actual handover and obtain an accurate receipt from the authorised recipient.
  2. Keep copies, photographs where appropriate and any courier or collection evidence.
  3. Resolve disputed damage or money separately rather than describing a receipt as full settlement.

Real-world check

Return-arrangement and receipt starter, not a salary deduction authorisation, damage finding, ownership transfer or release of employment claims. A request is not proof the item has been received.
