The letter must show:

If your employer cannot provide you a letter, they ask you to send us copies of:
- School, medical or social services records.
- Letters on official letterhead from a:
- School
- Healthcare or medical provider
- Social service agency
- Placement agency official
- Indian tribal official
- Landlord or property manager
- Church, synagogue, mosque or other place of worship
