I don't see the need to send the letter to the buyer or the buyers agent. I send it to the title agent so that they can close the deal. The buyers agent just needs to be concerned about clear title and the title agent can handle that. Underwriters asking for approval letters are just doing it to have one more thing that they can delay the file because there is no need whatsoever for the buyers lender to get the short sale approval letter. On the other side, who really cares, I don't mind sending the letter with the sellers permission
The important part is to be certain that the approval is valid and that you as the buyer's agent knows the terms. I had one agent who wanted to black out private info (like loan #, etc) and that was fine with me. I just wanted to be sure that if my buyer started spending money on inspections we actually did have an approval letter that the Seller had agreed to at terms we all understood.
