Should the LOR be written essentially on an institution letter head.Because i've got some with the letter writer's name only printed on the letter. Any one applied in this way and the letters have been considered? Please do let me know.
Anxiously awaiting your reply!

That's not a must it is a plus... at least get a letterhead from the doctor's office if you can.

Hi
Please also tell me if we should enclose the LOR with the LOR Cover letter stating the letter writer's name,waiveing rights etc, ? And must we put each letter in a separate envelope and seal it.
Eagerly awaiting your reply,

Thank you

Yes, every letter has to have an LOR submission form, (one for each letter) with all your info and the LOR writer's info and your signature; put it in front of the letter and join them with a paperclip NEVER WITH STAPLES!..... send them together in one envelope, if you are sending with all other documments you can do so and just join them all with a paper clip and also add the documment submission form on the front. If you are only sending one letter no need for this form only the LOR submission form. If you are waiving your right then the doctor him or herself has to send the letter and you should not see it so give the form to him or the secretary and ask them to send it with it on the front. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi GLOMD
Thank you for the reply . Please clarify this for me.I understand that if i'm sending 4 LOR'S, there will be 4 envelopes each . Am I right? I do hope i'm not bothering you.Thanks again.

Please also tell me if its ok that we ourselves post the LOR'S to the ERAS, as the letter writers have handed over the letters to us. Please explain.Anxiuosly awaiting your reply. Thank you.

  #8

if you did not waive your right to see the letter, you can mail it to ERAS yourself, like GloMD said, each LOR has to have a LOR submission form on top of each LOR..so in your case, 4LORs with 4LOR submission forms, that you can send all together in one envelope..
