How to write a letter request a certificate of employment?

• Sample letter request for Certificate of employment.

• Answer:

  What you write is going to depend upon what you need to accomplish. If you need the certificate to verify previous employment that you will give to a new potential employer you would write something like: Dear *employer*, I am seeking new employment. Could you please verify the dates of my employment with *XYZ Corporation* with a signed and dated statement. Your kind comments as to my performance would also be appreciated. Thank you. On the other hand if you are seeking a certificate of employment for immigration purposes. It would be something like: Dear *employer*, Thank you for your job offer. I need to verify your offer of employment in writing. The certificate should include the terms of the employment offer such as the position, the starting date and the salary I will be receiving. Thank you.
