One of the most important things for me when applying for HSMP was all the letters that I had to provide. Obviously I looked for templates on the Internet. Here is a selection of HSMP letters that you can use in your application to clarify what you are submitting.

It’s not essential to submit letters along with your HSMP application. Yet it helps the case worker to get a good understanding of your background to help your HSMP application.

Just copy the HSMP letter templates, change according to details specific to you HSMP application.
