The CDC guidelines contradict themselves in one paragraph by saying the letter must clear the person for travel, while in the next, it says that it doesn't need to mention travel specifically, only free the person from isolation/allowing return to work/school, etc. So if the letter doesn't mention travel, will the airlines accept it?
I'm curious for any firsthand experiences as well! If noone has reported sooner, I'll update when I come back later this month.

FWIW, here's my letter. My doctor's office in Washington DC seemed very familiar with the request and sent me this letter.
