Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings! Hope you are doing well.

I am writing in through this website to request and hopefully receive a copy of my BIR 1905 forms for the years 2017 until 2023. This is for the purpose of submitting some employment requirements from my new employer. Regrettably, my previous employer is not able to provide me the documents mentioned.

Looking forward to hear from you soon and hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you. God bless.

Best regards,

Karen Alcantara
