Yeah, good for you and i liked rhae's letter it's in details and cover pretty much everything. I had something like this for myself too. CEC_2174 your letter will do the job but see if you can hand them this format and ask them to create something like this. Because the more detailed ot is the more VO is satisfied and won't have to ask for more documentation or an interview.

Good luck to you guys!

Thanks rhare and umairz,

rhare your format is awesome, what I got from my HR was very difficult to get, she said she will get fired because they do not promote people getting PR,

Continuous begging did my job ;D

Really appreciate your help, any newcomers to this forum will gain a lot from your post

i really don't think that you need to kiss people when you ask a question ;D

And now answer to your question i am prettyu sure as long as the letter states your duration of time it should be fine even if they miss to put lhe letter creation date on it. But it's definitely nice to have it.

Thanks for ur help buddy

They could request a new letter - the letter has to be "recent" - if there is no date on it, the VO has no idea if it is recent or not. Depends if there's enough context, depends on the VO...
