Re: copyright question



<<Is the copyright of letters written by employees of a company, in their
official capacity with that company (e.g. director of the organization),
owned by the company or the employee who wrote them?>>

If you do it on company time, for compensation and using company-provided
equipment and supplies, it's a work for hire.

The only exception would be if you and the company agreed otherwise, and
documented that agreement.  Which is not likely in the case of letters, I
would think.
