hi all,
while preparing/sending your application to CIO, is it a good idea to write a main cover letter and prepare section separators/headers (e.g. proof of funds) giving details on the respective section to provide clarity for the ease of assessment officer?
regards.
I'd recommend it. Precisely that is the reason I had when I submitted my application package to CIO. I also used section separators, following the items in the checklist, and in those section separators I indicated what is included in the section (i.e. document title, document type etc., and what were the purpose of those documents - as part of supporting documents or in support of proof of funds requirement etc.).
Another reason is to clearly highlight and divert the attention of those checking the package for completeness to where the requirements are and what supporting documents are included in the package.
Think of it as submitting a paper - you always need a table of contents, and abstract and a preface to the sections to show what is inside right? Also in transmitting documents between destinations - there is a transmittal letter that included always summarizing what is included in the package.
Create the cover letter/transmittal letter after you have completed the package, and then use it to identify what is included in your submission. This also becomes your post-check before sending the package out.
.../hope this helps...
