There are plenty of examples of these letters if you search online.

I have done this using the 4 hour express appointment at the passport office in london and was relatively straightforward. Take copies and original of existing passports too.

Be prepared to jump through these hoops whenever you renew either passport as each renewal is considered an application for a second passport unless one of them expires or is cancelled.
