Draft the body of the letter. The first paragraph of the body of the letter should name your children and state that you have custody of them.
You can establish guardianship of a child by filing papers in court. Initially, file a petition stating your interest in obtaining guardianship along with a filing fee. You'll also want to file a letter of consent from the child's parents.
