Dear all,

as many of your know submitting an employment certificate/letter is more or less required by CHC for most applications. While my parents will be sponsoring me, I will be heading out to do an MBA and I'm a Pakistani (although not applying from Pakistan). I already have an employment letter for my father. Will an employment letter (for myself) be REQUIRED?

To those who have submitted the document before, how extensive is it? I know it usually won't mention salary, but does it mention many dates?

I'm hoping to get a document from my company which is basically 'XYZ is employed in our company under the position of 1234, and we will be happy to have him back". Will that be enough (I won't be sponsoring myself)?

The reason I ask is, I might have misrepresented my employment dates in my SOP. I had little choice, as otherwise they would realize there is an extensive gap b/w study and work. So I was hoping I could submit my employment letter without any dates.

What do you say seniors? Please reply.

An employment letter or any letter what so ever is not valid without a date, all the same a letter can be written by your employer( not older than 3months) stating that you presently work with them,your position and your intention to travel abroad and stating the willingness to take you back on your job after your education, but note that you must have payslips and a salary account that corresponds.
