1>> there is no only one format, in fact, every bank has its own format. for POF, u can do one of the followings:
• current bank certification letter; or
• evidence of savings balance; or
• fixed or time deposit statements
2>> same case here. let me clear things about experience letter & reference letter here.
first, experience letter & reference letter are different things, the first one is what u received just after u left the office, and second one is the up-to-date letter which states about ur experience, job duties, salaries, etc.
So, what I advice u to do is to obtain/send the original reference letter from the current & past employers and attached the notorized photocopy of the experience letters with them. I know the work is bit difficult, but I assure this is the best way to handle & this is really what they r asking for. I was also confused about it, but got clear after inquiring with many applicants, so I did like this.
one example of reference letter:
Here is a format of a reference letter hope it could help:
Date
