To whom it may concern:

I would like to ask for a Certificate of Tax Exemption of my dad po sana. He's a seafarer and as far as I can remember, they are exempted from taxes so I can't request for an Income Tax Return. Badly need it po for scholarship application for college.

Hoping for your kind consideration.

Thank you so much and stay safe always.
