Could you correct the English writing?
Letter of agreement (<-- Is this okay? should it be 'memorandum' or 'written oath' or something?)
1. Living expenses for December will be deducted as much as the period of leaving Korea.(2016.11/8~11/22)
Living expenses for the period that I was not in Korea (2016.11/8~11/22) will be deducted from whole living expenses of December.
----> Which sentence is better? or can you write any better sentences?
2. If this sort of thing happens again, I will take responsibility for all my faults.
3. I will never let it(any arbitrary actions without notice) happen again.
* It is not my document lol

As the name implies, a "Letter of Agreement" is a type of contract. Thus, as long as the essential elements of a contract are met (both parties are providing something of value and there is mutual assent to the terms) it would be just as enforceable as a contract in the traditional "long" form. This is under U.S./ California law though, not Korean or wherever else you might be. You would need to consult an attorney there.
The second phrasing seems more clear to me [Living expenses for the period...] and to a judge who might be deciding what was agreed on.
As to #2 - that is self-evident.
As to #3 - how can you provide notice of something you do not know will happen?
As to both #2 & 3 - without knowing more of the issues, it is really hard to provide advice, legal or otherwise [and for the record, I am not an attorney nor giving you legal advice, just sharing legal principles I know of from my education and life experiences...]. I hope this helps you. J.

I've met both: "Letter of Agreement" and "Memorandum".
Memorandum sounds more official for me, and I guess it's more widely used in government documents then in business ones. :) The native speakers must know better.
