No I did not submit a letter from employer. HR manager wrote me that from past experience she knows that the agency does not ask for a letter and that my explanations would suffice (turned out to be true)
just in case I printed out that email, but I did not include it in the file-- kept it with me in case they'd ask, they did not.
my absences were pretty vanilla though; total 150+ days, summer vacations, no continuous absence more than 37 days etc. i printed out the e-tickets of those trips to back up the dates in the file (thanks to gmail i delete nothing, so it was fairly straightforward to dig up the e-tickets).
our cards arrived today, btw. we applied on friday, cards arrived on tue. pretty impressive. we paid around £1200 extra for the in person service (myself and two dependents), but it's worth every penny. no hassle, no waiting, same day decision and you get your brp cards within two days.
