I'd appreciate it if anyone is able to look through the above and give me feedback on whether it is satisfactory. I also had a few questions that I wanted to ask regarding the correspondence and the application:
- Do I provide just the first page of each letter or must I provide all pages?
- On some letters the printer has run out of space and miss a letter off the end of my name, is that an issue? (happens on the barclays statements sometimes, when it runs out of room to print)
- Is it ok to provide a bill where I have removed the Giro pay slip from the bottom?
- Is it ok to provide a bill where I have written a note on it (date it was paid in the corner)?
- Barclays bank statements do not have a date when it was sent, just a statement date at the top of the page, is this ok?
- I get paid the last working day of the month, I plan on submitting the application before then but was wondering do I have to include the payslip given that my appointment will be after I have been paid?
