Go to www.Nolo.com and for about $14, you can get one written by a lawyer
that you can modify. That's what we did. As time went on - and as a
contractor really burned us - we have modified the one we use to suit our
needs. Make sure that you change it to be your state.

Subject: letter of agreement and non-disclosure statement
| cross-posted to CE-L and techwr-l.
|
| I have a small, independent contract with a startup
| company, and need to write them a letter summarizing
| our agreement. They have requested that I add a
| non-disclosure statement. Basically, it needs to be
| tight enough to reassure them that I won't tell any
| competitors about their product, but loose enough to
| allow me to consult with my husband, or bring in
| subcontractors.
|
| I admit, I hate writing this kind of letter in
| general, and I'm coming up blank on the non-disclosure
| part of it.
|
| following is my current text of the letter. any help
| and or advice is greatly appreciated!

| Dear Erika:
|
| This letter is to summarize my understanding of our
| agreement concerning documentation for the
| AutoKnowledge tool.
|
| I will develop the layout and text for a product
| information broadsheet, using graphics provided by
| AutoKnowledge. I estimate that this will take 15
| hours of work, billable at $40.00/hour. Payment is
| due in full in 14 days of recept of invoice.
|
| There are two deliverables: a "comp" page for review
| and comments, and the final layout in electronic form
| suitable for delivering to a printer for reproduction.
| This file will be in either PageMaker 6.5 or InDesign
| 1.0 format.
|
| In developing these deliverables, I reserve the right
| to call in subcontractors at my discretion; I will be
| responsible for payment to these subcontractors.
|
| <non-disclosure statement>
|
| If this letter matches your understanding of our
| agreement, please sign at the bottom of the page, and
| return one copy to me; the second copy is for your
| records. Thank you.
|
| I look forward to working with you and Alex on this
| and future projects.
