Hello,

I have been approached recently regarding providing my IT services to an overseas group. However, they require me to provide evidence of my employment experience over the past 10 years.

As such, I am respectfully requesting that ITR provide me with the details regarding my employment with Philippine companies from 2012 to the current date.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Arcita,

Additionally, I would like to point out that my previous employer has already closed down. I would appreciate it if you could send me the said years of ITR I need for my requirements to support my claims of my work experience. This is the only way I can get my ITR.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Regards,
Donald Benas
