What's the difference between that and a proper contract, and is that allowed?
    Her employer must however give her a written letter setting out the main conditions of her employment, and they have a certain time period (number of weeks) within which to do this.

A letter of appointment which gives this information could be deemed as a contract of employment, providing it is agreed and signed by both parties.
