Employment verification letter request
You need HR to confirm your job in writing.
Banks, landlords and consulates ask for proof of employment on company letterhead. This is the letter you send to HR to get one, and being specific about what the letter must contain saves a second round of emails.
Ask for what the recipient needs, not for a generic reference. A mortgage lender and a visa office want different facts.
Your letter is never uploaded, because it's built in your browser. Nothing you type here is saved, so refreshing starts again.
Would it be possible to have a letter confirming my employment, for. I work as.
Thank you for arranging this.
Still to fill in: your full name, your job title, company name and address, what you need it for, what the letter must state.
A finished example
The same template with every field filled in. The names and details are invented.
Would it be possible to have a letter confirming my employment, for a mortgage application. I work as Logistics Coordinator, employee number GH-2291, and joined on 15 March 2021.
It needs to be addressed to Kestrel Building Society and to state my job title and department, My start date and that my contract is permanent, My gross annual salary and A contact number for verification.
I need it by 8 September 2026.
A PDF by email is fine.
Thank you for arranging this.

Questions
- What should an employment verification letter contain?
- Whatever the party asking for it needs. Commonly your job title, start date, contract type and salary, on company letterhead with a signature and a contact number. Ask for those specifics rather than for a letter in general.
- Can HR refuse to state my salary?
- Some employers have a policy of confirming only dates and job title. If salary is required, say so in the request so HR can escalate it rather than sending a letter that gets rejected.
- How long does it usually take?
- A few working days at most companies. Give a date you need it by, and ask early if it is for a visa appointment.
- Should the letter be addressed to a specific organisation?
- Yes where you know it. A letter addressed to the lender or consulate reads as genuine; "To whom it may concern" is accepted but weaker.
