Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 2316 form. This is for the purpose of submitting one of the employment requirement for my new employer. 

It would be very much appreciated if you can send me a copy via email as my employment is on the line — I have to submit this on November 18th. 

I hope to hear from you soon.
