Hello Sheldon1
Im working as a bus driver.When I first time ask for letter from my work,I ask lady in office for letter which will include all details about my work-salary,when I start,is it full time or half,etc,etc...but lady in my work said that She often write letter for others workers for emigration and they never have problem with it,so She wrote letter,but didnt include my salary,only when I start and that Im working full time.I submit that letter when we apllied for visa on 9 august.Then we recived email that ECO-Entry Clearance Officer want letter with all details,so I went back to lady in office and show Her email from ECO.She was surprised that they want all this details...anyway it took few days for me to get that letter,because it need to be from headoffice,not from my garage where I work.So I get it and fax it and send by DHL,but I was worry if it will reach Manila on time,because ECO give us 10 days to produce that letter.
When we apply for visa for my wife we include all my payslips for 6 moths,P60 for two years and bank statments for about 8 months-all orginal and copy of work contract and that first letter from my work which ECO didnt accepted.
My P60 was showing over 29,000 pounds before tax,so we put that number in appendix two as my salary,but on my second letter from my work it was about 24,000 pounds(they said that this my BASIC salary)...so as You see,its different.
Im sorry for my language,but english is not my first language,I hope that I help You little bit and maybe others will benefit from my message too
Take care.
