So far I've found Brad Feld's series on Letters of Intent [1] and AllBusiness.com's series on Negotiating Acquisition Letters Of Intent [2].

Brad's series is now over a decade old, so it would be useful to find out what trends or conventions may have changed in recent years. I found the AllBusiness series to be very good, though having never read anything on their site before and don't know how reliable their guidance is.

I've found a couple other standalone articles [3, 4] related to LOIs or term sheet negotiation (which has some similar aspects), but would be interested to hear what resources others might suggest.
