My company will let me take a couple of old PC's home with me if I write them a letter removing them from any liability if they explode or anything like that. Not being particular legally minded, I'm not sure what to write. Does anyone have any wording to hand that might be suitable? I've tried Google but cant nail down anything that seems relevant.

I doubt it would need to be a professional letter
Just a signed note saying that you, <name here> takes ownership and posession of <insert item here> including all liability. <signature here> [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

That would basically cover it. If you wanted a bit more legalese, try
"I, <insert name>, absolve <company name> of any and all responsibility for the following items :-
<list computer part and serial numbers>
I am removing these items from my place of work at, <address>, with the full knowledge and permissions of <whoever authorised it> on condition that any future faults and problems are my sole responsibility.
<sign here>"
Should cover it.:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:

Ive bought a car before that was sold as unroadworthy. It wasnt, it was fine, Taxed and MOT'd, but it meant that there was no legal comeback if it went wrong. Could you do the same with this? Buy the PCs for £1 each and sign a piece of paper saying that they are sold for spares or repair. Just an idea..."I'm not even supposed to be here today."0

I've basically been told that the computers are being given to me as a gift. I dont have to pay anything for them. I think treating them as a gift removes some of the legal aspect involved with me taking them. I think I'm going to use rmg1's wording as it seems to fit the bill quite nicely.
Thanks all.SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0
