I'm trying to apply for an e-Visa single entry for my wife of Philippines nationality. It requires me to upload a cover letter addressed to the Director General of immigration. Anyone has experience with this and has an example of how this letter should be composed like?

I've just had a look on my computer for a copy of one I had to do, but can't find it.

The only answer I can give is that I followed the advice of a previous poster who said about his whole application, in full -

Within 24 hours I had my e-Visa approval back by email which I printed and took with me."

A visa is an endorsement on a valid passport of a foreigner, which is confirmed by examination by an Immigration Officer at the port of entry, granting that person the authority to enter Zambia. The validity of the visa is not the period in which the holder is entitled to remain in the country but a period within which the holder has to enter Zambia. As such foreign nationals are required to use other instruments offered by the Department to remain in the country legally.

Foreign nationals wishing to enter the country fall within one of the three (3) distinct categories below:

• Nationals who do not require visas in order to enter Zambia;
• Nationals requiring visas on arrival or Missions Abroad; and
• Nationals required to apply for visas prior to their travel to Zambia.

Visit our website (www.zambiaimmigration.gov.zm) for up to date lists of nationalities falling in the three (03) categories

• Types of Visas

The Department issues the following types of Visas:

Single Entry Visa  – A Single Entry Visa allows the holder to enter Zambia only once during the validity of the visa.

Double Entry Visa  – A Double Entry Visa allows the holder to enter Zambia twice during the validity of the visa.

Multiple Entry Visa  – A Multiple Entry Visa allows the holder to enter Zambia multiple times during the validity of the visa. Multiple Entry Visas shall only be issued by Immigration Headquarters through the e-visa facility.

Note:  Single, Double and Multiple Entry visas shall be valid for ninety (90) days from the date of the first issuance, with the exception of nationals from the United States of America for whose Multiple Entry Visas have a validity of three (3) years, on a mutually agreed reciprocal basis.

Transit Visa  – Transit Visas are issued to nationals who require visas to enter Zambia and are transiting through using land transport and shall be valid for a maximum period of seven (07) days.

Day Tripper Visa  – A Day Tripper Visa is issued at a port of entry to a tourist who visits Zambia for a period of fewer than 24 hours and makes exit through the same port. The facility will also apply to tourists visiting Zambia and wish to visit a neighbouring country and re-enter within 24 hours.

Note:  Currently, the Day Tripper shall only apply at Victoria Falls and Kazungula Border Controls.

Gratis Visa  – A Gratis Visa is a free visa issued at Zambia Missions Abroad or at Ports of entry to members of the Diplomatic Community on presentation of letters of accreditation and/or Diplomatic Passports. It is also issued to diplomats not accredited to Zambia but visiting Zambia on official business as long as they present letters of invitation.

• C .  KAZA UNIVISA

The Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) is a conservation area, spanning five Southern African countries; Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, centred around the Caprivi-Chobe-Victoria Falls area. In pursuance of regional economic development through tourism, the Republics of Zambia and Zimbabwe, with the support of the World Bank in partnership with the KAZA TFCA Secretariat, embarked on the development of the KAZA UNIVISA Pilot Project with the aim of facilitating easy movement of tourists between the two countries.

The KAZA UNIVISA Pilot Project was launched on 28th November 2014 with an initial period to run for six months and later extended for a further six months. On 21st December 2016, Zambia and Zimbabwe launched the rollout phase of the KAZA UNIVISA in Livingstone, Zambia, where the Ministers of Home Affairs from both Zambia and Zimbabwe signed a Memorandum of Understanding symbolizing the commencement of the permanent issuance of the KAZA UNIVISA. It is the desire of both Zambia and Zimbabwe that the rollout phase shall lead to the ultimate incorporation of the other three partner countries into this initiative.

The KAZA UNIVISA allows tourists to obtain one visa to visit both countries multiple times. The visa is valid up to 30 days as long as the holder remains within Zambia and Zimbabwe. It also covers those who visit Botswana for day-trips through Kazungula Borders.

This visa is not available online and can currently only be obtained at the following ports of entry in Zambia:

In addition to my experience and skills, I bring a strong commitment to public service. I am passionate about helping others, and I firmly believe in the importance of the work that USCIS does.

“Dear Ms. Unruh,

An associate informed me of the Immigration Officer position available with The GEO Group, Inc. and I would like to take this opportunity to apply for this job.

I have a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and I speak Spanish and English fluently. I am also familiar with two other languages. I meet all of the requirements and I have completed a Federal Career Intern Program where I gained experience working out in the field next to trained professionals, who helped prepare me for this position. This experience includes reviewing the immigration applications and interviewing potential immigrants before allowing them in the country.

I also gained experience researching the background of immigrants to determine their eligibility to make sure they do not pose any safety risk for the country. My research abilities also help to locate illegal immigrants that have already entered the country so they can be deported.

I have the communication skills and the interpersonal skills to communicate with all agencies from the local to the international level. I have critical thinking skills with the ability to solve problems as they arise. I am also very perceptive and I have the ability to make good decisions in a moment’s notice if necessary.

I have taken self-defense classes and weapons training classes that have helped to prepare me for this position. I am physically and mentally fit to hold this job and I am ready to put my skills and training to work for the country.

You can contact me for an interview by calling (555)-555-5555 and I hope to discuss the details of this position with you soon.

Respectfully,

I am writing to express my interest in the Immigration Officer position that is currently available at your company. I believe that my extensive experience as an immigration officer, coupled with my education and training, makes me a strong candidate for this position.

I have been working as an immigration officer since 2005. My first job was at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, where I worked for three years. In 2008, I moved to the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, where I worked for another three years. In 2011, I was promoted to Senior Immigration Officer and transferred to the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have been working there ever since.

Throughout my career as an immigration officer, I have gained extensive experience in all aspects of immigration law and policy. I have also developed excellent communication skills and a strong understanding of how to interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds. These skills are essential for someone who works as an immigration officer.

I would like to thank you for considering me for this position and hope that we can arrange a meeting so that we can discuss my qualifications in greater detail.”

23.1 Cover Letters for Affirmative Applications

23.1.1 cover letter for “barebones submission”.

If you are submitting an affirmative application, as discussed in Chapter 14, it is advisable to submit the I-589 almost completely by itself, with other documentation to follow later, so as to get your client, as soon as possible, a spot in the long line for an asylum interview. The cover letter for this “barebones” application may look as follows:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services [LOCATION] Service Center [see p. 10 of the I-589 instructions]x [ADDRESS LINE 1]x [ADDRESS LINE 2]x

Re: Joao Doe (DOB 01/01/1901)

Dear Sirs/Madams:

Attached please find the above-referenced individual’s application for Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and relief under the Convention against Torture (Form I-589). The following documents are submitted on Mr. Doe’s behalf:

Enclosed, please find the following documents on Mr. Doe’s behalf:

• An original Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (Form G-28), plus one copy;
• An original Application for Asylum, and for Withholding of Removal (Form I-589), plus one copy;
• One passport-sized photograph of Mr. Doe attached on page 9 of the original Form I-589;
• Two complete copies of Mr. Doe’s Brazilian passport; and
• Two copies of Mr. Doe’s most recent Form I-94.

[You may also wish to include other documentation immediately pertinent to the claim, such as: documentation supporting an exception to the one-year filing deadline (if applicable); a state court-ordered name change (if the applicant’s passport does not reflect their legal name); a physician’s letter corroborating gender identity (if the applicant’s passport does not reflect their gender identity), etc.]x

Note that additional documents will be submitted at or before the asylum interview.

All documents have been provided in triplicate.  Please do not hesitate to contact me at the number above if you have any questions regarding this matter. Thank you for your consideration.

Clarence Darrow, Esq.

23.1.2 Cover Letter for Supplemental Submissions

After submitting a barebones application, and up to one week before the scheduled asylum interview, you can submit additional documentation in support of the client’s application (see Chapters 14–22). NOTE that these submissions should go directly to the Asylum Office with jurisdiction over the client’s claim, not to the Service Center to which you previously sent the barebones application. The cover letter for these submissions may look as follows:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services [LOCATION] Asylum Office [ADDRESS LINE 1]x [ADDRESS LINE 2]x

Re: Joao Doe (DOB 01/01/1901)

A-Number XXX-XXX-XXX

Please do not hesitate to contact me at the number above if you have any questions regarding this matter.

23.2 Cover Letters for Defensive Applications

23.2.1 cover letter for i-589 filing.

Usually, Form I-589 is submitted in open court at a Master Calendar Hearing (MCH). If, however, your first MCH is scheduled more than a year after your client’s most recent entry to the U.S., you will likely wish to file the I-589 within that first year (or as soon as possible thereafter), by mail or in person. This procedure is described in a 2016 memorandum from the Chief Immigration Judge, available at  http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/pages/attachments/2016/09/14/oppm_16-01.pdf . If you hand-deliver it, bring an extra copy with you to be date-stamped for your records. If you mail it, include an extra copy and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return service of a date-stamped version, and a short cover letter (which does not and should not replace the immigration court’s own formatting and filing requirements, described in detail in the Immigration Court Practice Manual at  http://www.justice.gov/eoir/office-chief-immigration-judge-0 . Your cover letter may look as follows:

U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review [LOCATION] Immigration Court [ADDRESS LINE 1]x [ADDRESS LINE 2]x

Re: Joao Doe (A-Number XXX-XXX-XXX)

Dear Clerk of the Court:

Attached please find the above-referenced individual’s application for Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and relief under the Convention against Torture (Form I-589). Pursuant to OPPM 16-01, I am hereby filing Form I-589 on Mr. Doe’s behalf. Enclosed please find:

• An original Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative (Form EOIR-28);
• An original Application for Asylum, and for Withholding of Removal (Form I-589), plus one copy for return service;

Please confirm receipt of this Form I-589 by returning a date-stamped copy in the enclosed, pre-addressed, stamped envelope.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at the number above if you have any questions regarding this matter. Thank you for your consideration.

23.2.2 Cover Letter for Subsequent Filing

Subsequent filings should also be formatted in accordance with the Immigration Court Practice Manual, and their contents will depend upon the nature and timing of the filing.

This Manual is intended to provide information to attorneys and accredited representatives. It is not intended as legal advice. Asylum seekers should speak with qualified attorneys before applying.

How To Write a USCIS Cover Letter

Preparing an immigration application for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires filling out complex paperwork and gathering supporting documents. Using a cover letter is a great way to keep your application materials organized and make sure you don’t miss any required documents. It’s also a good opportunity to highlight anything you want USCIS to know about your application. This article explains what a cover letter is and the elements it should include. It also includes a template you can use to write your own.

Written by Jonathan Petts .  Updated May 4, 2023

What Is a USCIS Cover Letter?

A cover letter is a document that helps USCIS officers navigate your application materials. You can place a cover letter at the top of your citizenship , permanent resident , DACA , or visa application package. By outlining your reasons for applying and the contents of your application in a cover letter, you give your USCIS officer a useful overview of your case. You can also use your cover letter as a personal checklist to make sure you’ve included all necessary documents in your package.

You may also use a cover letter to explain any special circumstances you want the USCIS officer to be aware of before they start reviewing your application. If you have a unique or complicated background, it is especially helpful to supplement your application with a cover letter. It will ensure that USCIS becomes aware of any special circumstances and can consider your application with this in mind.

Is a Cover Letter Required for My USCIS Application?

USCIS does not require you to submit a cover letter for any immigration benefit or visa application. Many immigration attorneys include cover letters for their clients to prevent any misunderstandings or missing paperwork. Immigration officers read through a lot of paperwork, so any guidance or organization you can offer them will be helpful. 

Cover letters may be especially helpful when you are in a unique situation. Suppose you are applying for a marriage green card with Form I-130 : Petition for Alien Relative, and you and your spouse have lived apart for some time. You and your U.S. citizen or green card holder spouse can use a cover letter to explain this or any other unusual circumstances behind your marriage. 

USCIS will want to know the reasons behind an unusual living or marriage situation when evaluating your adjustment of status application. A cover letter can help you address any major concerns at the beginning of the process.

What Should My USCIS Cover Letter Include?

When submitting a cover letter with your application, be sure to include the following:

The USCIS filing location or lockbox address to which you’re sending your application

The date of filing

An appropriate subject (re:) line

A short introductory paragraph to describe the contents of your letter and package

If applying for a marriage-related benefit, information about the marriage date and location for yourself (the beneficiary) and your spouse (the petitioner)

An ordered list of the content in your application package, including all supporting documents and filing or biometrics fees included

A closing paragraph including your contact information

Your signature and full printed name

Your supporting documents for an application will depend on which forms you’re filing. You can determine which documents are necessary by reviewing USCIS’ webpage for your specific form. For example, USCIS lists the required supporting evidence on its webpage for Form N-400 applicants.

You’ll also need to identify the right mailing address for your application. To do so, you should consult the USCIS website. For example, naturalization applicants can review USCIS’s webpage for Form N-400 direct filing addresses .

Your filing fees will depend on your specific application type. You can use the USCIS Fee Calculator to determine your costs. For example, suppose you are filing for naturalization with Form N-400. You should select Form N-400 on the Fee Calculator and enter your age. USCIS may ask for additional information, such as your specific application category.

USCIS Cover Letter Template

You may use the sample cover letter below as guidance when writing your cover letter. This specific cover letter sample is for a naturalization application, intended for submission alongside Form N-400. Be sure to personalize this template to reflect your application type and circumstances. If you’d like to use the following template, you may also make a copy of this document to start writing.

[Petitioner’s Street Address]

[Petitioner’s City, State  ZIP code]

[Relevant USCIS mailing address]

RE: [Naturalization Application]

Beneficiary: [Immigrant’s Full Legal Name]

To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed, please find the Naturalization Application for [Immigrant’s Full Legal Name].

The following documents accompany and support this application:

Filing Fee Payments

[Check or Money Order] in the amount of [Current Fee Amount] for Form N-400

Form G-1450 authorizing payment of the filing fee for Form N-400 (credit card charge authorization if you completed one)

[Form G-1145 (e-notice authorization if you requested them in our system)]

[OPTIONAL Beneficiary’s Form I-912 Fee Waiver Application]

[List of supporting documents]

Beneficiary’s Form N-400 Application for Naturalization

If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at [Phone Number]. Thank you very much for your prompt consideration of my Naturalization Application.

Tips for Writing Your USCIS Cover Letter

When writing a USCIS cover letter, be sure to type your letter in English on a computer. Keep your letter concise and only include necessary information. A long cover letter will not be as helpful to a USCIS officer as a brief letter. If possible, keep your letter to one page. Be sure to proofread your letter before submitting your application package.

I'm trying to apply for an e-Visa single entry for my wife of Philippines nationality. It requires me to upload a cover letter addressed to the Director General of immigration. Anyone has experience with this and has an example of how this letter should be composed like?

I've just had a look on my computer for a copy of one I had to do, but can't find it.

The only answer I can give is that I followed the advice of a previous poster who said about his whole application, in full -

Within 24 hours I had my e-Visa approval back by email which I printed and took with me."

There are a lot of places in Africa that should be high up on your travel bucket list, and I believe that Zambia should be one of them! After all, aside from the fact that you can find the famed Victoria Falls on its borders, you’ll also find a lush wilderness and diverse wildlife that will fill you to the brim with awe. (Zambia Visa)

Though, if by chance you are worried about ease of entry, don’t fret because getting a Zambia visa is fairly easy — especially now that they offer the possibility of doing it online through an e-Visa application.

…But first, a disclaimer :

NO ONE  can give you a guarantee on your Zambia visa’s approval — not even a lawyer, a consultant, a travel agent, or an embassy employee. Anyone who says otherwise is most likely going to be a scammer. That being said, what I can offer you here is a comprehensive guide with helpful tips to increase your chances of getting that Zambia tourist visa.

Activities to do in Zambia?

Come read my posts about it by reading my detailed  travel guides  now!

How to Apply for a Zambia Visa Online

Step 1: determine if you are eligible for a zambia visa.

As an alternative to visas issued at Zambia embassies, missions, and ports of entry, it is now possible for all foreign nationals to apply online for a Zambia e-Visa through this link .

This kind of Zambia visa will be valid for 3 months (90 days) from the approval date, and you must enter the country on any date within this period — failure to enter within this period renders the e-Visa invalid, and thus you will have to make a new application.

If you’re a national/citizen of any of the countries listed below, then you do NOT need to apply for a Zambia visa / e-Visa.

Angola Anguilla Antigua and Bermuda Australian Antarctic Territory Bahamas Barbados Belize Bermuda Botswana British Antarctic Territory British Indian Ocean Territory British Virgin Islands Cayman Islands Channel Islands

Cyprus Dominica Falkland Islands Falkland Islands Dependencies Fiji Islands Gilbraltar Grenada Hong Kong Ireland Isle of Man Jamaica Kenya Kiribati Lesotho Malawi Malaysia Maldives Malta

Marshall Islands Mauritius Montenegro Montserrat Mozambique Namibia Nauru Niue Norfolk Island Pitcairn Islands Romania Ross Dependency St. Helena St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia St. Vincent and Grenadines Samoa

Serbia Seychelles Singapore Solomon Islands South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Tokelau Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tuvalu Turks and Caicos Island Uganda Vanuatu Western Samoa Zimbabwe

Naturally, if you do NOT find your country above, then you need to apply for a Zambia visa / e-Visa. Of course, you can opt to apply through your local Zambia embassy, but if you want an easier and faster way, then getting an e-Visa online is far better.

To date, it is possible to apply for single entry, double entry, multiple entry, and transit e-Visa.

NOTES : – If you are visiting less than 24 hours only, Zambia can issue a ‘day trippers’ visa for $20 but this is only issued at a port of entry (Victoria Falls and Kazungula Border Controls). Take note that for this, you must also exit at that same port. This kind of visa also applies to tourists visiting Zambia and who also wish to visit a neighboring country and then re-enter Zambia again within 24 hours. . – If you plan to visit both Zimbabwe and Zambia multiple times, you can apply for a KAZA Univisa ($50). You can check this link if you’re eligible for this. Take note that this visa is valid for up to 30 days as long as you remain within Zambia and Zimbabwe, and you can apply for it online or at certain ports of entry. It also covers those who visit Botswana for day trips through Kazungula Borders.

– – –

Step 2: Prepare the required documents and information for your application

Before you lodge your Zambia visa application online, it’s best to prepare the following beforehand…

DOCUMENTS (In English)

• The photo must be a .JPEG file.
• Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date that you intend to enter Zambia.
• Your passport must also have at least 2 consecutive blank pages.
• A signed document written by you, wherein you basically explain your reason for traveling to Zambia. This should be addressed to the Director General of Immigration. For a sample letter, you can see the one that I wrote here .
• This is a document that is needed and which you must also upload for your online application.
• TIP : See here for a list of the ‘ best hotels in Zambia ‘.
• You can easily get a flight reservation online with OneWayFly for a small fee of only Php 1,000~. I highly recommend them because they are fast, easy, and legitimate; plus, I have been using them for years for all of my visa applications! (Read here for more info).
• Later on, in case you want to book your flight, my go-to platform is Skyscanner since i t always looks for the best fares and flight combinations possible across all airlines.

INVITED BY SOMEONE IN ZAMBIA…? (Prepare the following too)

• This should be signed and addressed to the Director General of Immigration by your host.
• It must also include the full physical address and telephone number of your host.
• i.e. copy of NRC/ Zambia Immigration Permit.
• Note that persons on Study, Visiting, Temporary Employment Permit, and Temporal Permits CANNOT invite visitors or act as hosts for a Zambia visa application.

OTHER INFORMATION (Vital info needed when filling up your e-Visa application online)

• Entry and exit date of your travel to Zambia
• A debit card or credit card
• ***Depending on your nationality, type of visa desired, and purpose of visit, there may be additional requirements that will be needed from you (which is not listed above). Rest assured, you will be informed of these requirements after you select your country, type of visa, and travel dates on the online portal for the Zambia e-Visa .

Step 3: Process your Zambia Visa application online

To finally initiate your Zambia visa application, simply go to this website and click the green button that says “ Apply ” under the first white box titled ‘ ✓ 1. Apply’ .

The next pages will be very easy and self-explanatory as it asks for important information regarding you and your intended Zambia trip.

I will NOT go into so much detail on this because every section will be pretty straightforward and easy to understand when you’re filling it up.

NOTE : Enter an active email address that you use because they will be communicating with you through it.

Step 4: Do the visa fee payment

Once you’re done filling in the required details of your e-Visa application, the website will proceed to the payment page. Below are the fees required (in USD currency) as per the type of Zambia tourist visa/e-Visa that you are applying for…

• Single Entry = $50
• Double Entry = $80
• This is issued only by the Headquarters through the e-Visa online facility.
• For those who are transiting through Zambia using land transport, and it will be valid for a maximum period of seven (7) days.

NOTE: Single, double, and multiple-entry visas are valid for ninety (90) days or 3 months from the date of issuance, with the exception of nationals from the United States of America (since multiple-entry visas issued to them have a validity of three (3) years, on a reciprocal basis).

WHAT IS THE METHOD OF PAYMENT? You can pay the visa fee via debit or credit card on the online portal.

Once this visa fee payment is made, your application will be instantly submitted for processing and you will also receive an email that indicates your reference no . (which you can use later on to track the status of your application). In a separate email, you will also receive a receipt of your visa fee payment and you must print this and present it when you enter Zambia. . !!! IMPORTANT: In this email, they will also be sending a confirmation link which you need to click in order to verify your email address and activate your Zambia visa application. If you do not confirm within 1 hour, your application will be canceled — so make sure that you click it.

Step 5: Wait for the results of your E-Visa application

Within 3 or 5 working days — as dependent on your visa category — you can expect to receive feedback regarding your Zambia visa application via the email that you registered on the e-Visa online portal.

If you want to, you can track the progress of your application by going to this link. Just enter your reference no. and passport no to check the status.

For my case, I got my approval letter in just 3 working days! If your application is successful, your Zambia e-Visa authorization/approval letter will be attached to the email that will be sent to you (you can also download it from this link ).

Simply print out this letter and then present it together with your passport and visa fee payment receipt upon arrival in Zambia.

Immigration officers at ports of entry can verify your e-Visa on their system; but remember that as is the case with all visas, it is their right and discretion to deny you entry even if you have an e-Visa authorization/approval letter.

But rest assured, as long as you have all your documents ready, you should be fine!

IMPORTANT: If you are arriving from or have transited through a yellow fever zone (for more than 12 hours), you must carry a yellow fever vaccination card since it may be required of you at the port of entry. For a list of the countries that are deemed at a risk for yellow fever, go to this link . For a more updated list, you can inquire with your local Zambia embassy.

Booking Essentials

TIP: It’s a good idea to crosscheck the prices with other popular travel insurance providers like World Nomads and HeyMondo (as my reader, you get 5% off)! . However, take note a travel insurance’s affordability typically means lesser coverage; so please always ensure that you read the fine print in order to decipher which travel insurance company is the right fit for you and your trip!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

You can apply 30 days before your flight. Just remember that the Zambia visa approval letter is valid for 3 months from the approval date — so you must enter Zambia on any date within this period. Failure to enter within this period renders your Zambia e-Visa invalid and thus you will you will have to make a new application.

The Embassy of Zambia did not explicitly state a money requirement, so just make sure that your bank account covers the cost of your flight, accommodation and daily expenses for the trip.

Like I’ve mentioned above, it usually takes 3 or 5 working days. I got mine in just 3 days.

You can check here to track the progress of your Zambia visa application.

I highly advise that you get travel insurance for your trip to protect yourself from any unwanted hassles such as travel delays, lost baggage, accidents, etc. To avail, I would highly recommend SafetyWing because they offer the best price and coverage.

Applying for a Zambia e-Visa is relatively easy, and I hope that with this visa guide, I can help you prepare your documents and requirements better.

Can you write essays for free?

Sometimes our managers receive ambiguous questions from the site. At first, we did not know how to correctly respond to such requests, but we are progressing every day, so we have improved our support service. Our consultants will competently answer strange suggestions and recommend a different way to solve the problem.

The question of whether we can write a text for the user for free no longer surprises anyone from the team. For those who still do not know the answer, read the description of the online platform in more detail.

We love our job very much and are ready to write essays even for free. We want to help people and make their lives better, but if the team does not receive money, then their life will become very bad. Each work must be paid and specialists from the team also want to receive remuneration for their work. For our clients, we have created the most affordable prices so that a student can afford this service. But we cannot be left completely without a salary, because every author has needs for food, housing and recreation.

We hope that you will understand us and agree to such working conditions, and if not, then there are other agencies on the Internet that you can ask for such an option.

Professional essay writing services

What is the best custom essay writing service.

In the modern world, there is no problem finding a person who will write an essay for a student tired of studying. But you must understand that individuals do not guarantee you the quality of work and good writing. They can steal your money at any time and disappear from sight.

The best service of professional essay writing companies is that the staff give you guarantees that you will receive the text at the specified time at a reasonable cost. You have the right to make the necessary adjustments and monitor the progress of the task at all levels.

Clients are not forced to pay for work immediately; money is transferred to a bank card only after receiving a document.

The services guarantee the uniqueness of scientific work, because the employees have special education and are well versed in the topics of work. They do not need to turn to third-party sites for help. All files are checked for plagiarism so that your professors cannot make claims. Nobody divulges personal information and cooperation between the customer and the contractor remains secret.
