Employment Reference letters-FSW

[Tom_sask]

Hi Askhan,

Thank u for sharing the sample format. I have read in some portals that if you couldn't obtain the reference letter from the company, you need to get it from your previous boss or colleagues on a stamp paper duly signed by them. Also attaching their business card along with an explanation letter why you didn't produce it from your employer etc. Are you sure, the format what you have shared works well for FSW. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

below is the sample noterization for Letter of reference (collected...)

Sample noterization
Date:

SOLEMN AFFIRMATION



I the undersigned, (principal applicant), residing at ___________________________________, hereby solemnly affirm that from (date) until (date) I was employed by (company name) as (job title).

I worked (number) hours per week and was paid (salary) (weekly, monthly, yearly).

My main duties consisted of (main duties).

Main Duty 1
Main Duty 2
Main Duty 3
Main Duty 4
and so on and so forth.

I am unable to obtain a letter with the job description from my employer because the HR department doesn't provide any such letter with the job duties mentioned on it. The only thing they provide with is an experience letter with the designation and the tenure of the employment mentioned on it, that too at the time of relieving. I have that letter and I shall enclose the notarized copy of the same.

No, i have not come across one on this forum yet, but it should have the following

According to requirements they want:
Letters must be

· Written on company letterhead,
· Signed by responsible officer/supervisor,
· Have the printed name and title of the responsible officer/supervisor beneath the signature,
· Show the company`s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses,
· Stamped with the company`s official seal (if applicable)


Letters must include all of the following information:

· The specific period of your employment with the company,
· The position you have held during the period of employment and the time spent in each position,
· Your main responsibilities and duties in each position,
· Your total annual salary plus benefits, (must include your salary)
· The number of hours worked per week. (must include your no of work hours per week)

If possible your colleague should attach his business card too and give all his phone numbers! Also he should mention that he worked with you at XXXXX location from XXXX to XXXX

Hope it helps!
