If she is going to see her dad then I would say not to worry about it.
I know traveling from the US as a US citizen, they want the travel docs to be notarized.
When my daughter went to Australia, they didn't ask for it but I made sure she had it just in case.
My daughter (17, almost 18) is coming to visit me in August and she won't have a letter as both her father and I are currently out of the country but since she is coming to see me, I'm not worried about it.
