thank you for your reply, I will try

I understand i have to tick and provide details of my referres on the form but I wanted to know if I need them to write a summary about myself on a letter and send it also or do I just provide their details...?

Hi, Currently applying for naturalisation, at the end of the form it says: 'From the list of documents below, provide as many as you can.
