Hi,

I hope you are doing well. My name is May Anne Alega, and I am writing to request a copy of my Income Tax Return (ITR) for the following financial years:
2010 - 2011
2011 - 2012
2012 - 2013
2013 - 2014
2014 - 2015
2015 - 2016
2016 - 2017
2017 - 2018
2018 - 2019

It would mean so much to me if you could provide me with a copy of my ITR at the earliest convenience. I would be needing it for a visa application.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Regards,
May Anne Alega
