Will you please share the covering letter template for the 10 years long residency route as my case is pretty straightforward and solicitors are asking me for hefty amount of sum for just a covering letter although i have one which covers my entire immigration history but it doesn't reflect any points regarding long residency which includes family and private life in uk and mention relevant articles from the immigration rule
So its my humble request with admin and moderators if you guys have any template that will allow me to save few hundred pounds

thanks

There is no need to use a covering letter, if you still insist, use something like this:

Many of these esteemed Moderators are no longer active having moved on to new challenges.

If case is straightforward why do you think a cover letter is necessary?
After all, purpose of form is to gather necessary material facts.

Hi Asim
Not a moderator but I'd also say the same.. You don't really need a cover letter for a straight forward application. However, I do have one that my solicitor wrote for m as my case had one little complication. I can share it with you if you still looking for one. Drop me your email

Regards and good luck!
