My 15 year old daughter will be visiting Sweden and Denmark in July accompanied by her grandparents. Airlines is SAS. Does she need a minor authorization travel document?

I thought it would be a good idea for the parents to write a letter and get it notarized, but is this required? Where can I find a sample letter?
