Greetings Team,

I would like to request from your good office an electronic or scanned copy on file of my BIR 2316 for employment history verification. I am required to submit a copy from a government body agency, outside of my previous or current employer.

Please let me know how and what requirements I need to request for this.

I would greatly appreciate your support on my request.
