Should the reference letter in a sealed envelope

[busa]

I remember my college friends applying for their Masters and they all send the reference letter in sealed envelope. Are we supposed to send all our previous employers and peer references in sealed envelope.

Its basically reqd. for students to get three ref. letters which shud be sealed in the envelops sent by the University. They offcourse want your referee to write some lines abt you and seal it and give it back to you and you are then reqd. to submit to them.

In our case, we are submitting our Employer Reference letters which basically states our duties, responsibilities and period of employement which is not really something we shudn't be aware of. So in short, there is no need to send them our Ref. like this.

Hope this help.

no sealed envelope is required. Imagine my case with 6 such letters, the case worker will be bugged to open one by one envelope, they are busy trying to remove the late tag and if such a application with so many sealed envelopes, he will certainly reject it (will give some other reason ofcourse)
