Request for documentation to confirm your ‘right to work’ as an External Examiner

As the attached letter from the University’s Director of Human Resources explains, it is necessary for the University to confirm your right to work as an External Examiner.

Please could you present the relevant documentation (see attached letter) to [add name of member of School staff] the Secretary to the Examination Board for [add name of Examination Board]. It is necessary for you to present this in person rather than post the original documentation or a notarised copy. If you plan to travel to Edinburgh prior to the May / June 2010 Examination Board meeting, I would be grateful if you could present the documentation at that point. Otherwise, please could you present this documentation when you attend the Examination Board meeting on [x date] in 2010. I am afraid that we will not be able to pay your fees or expenses for your work until you provide that documentation.

I appreciate your assistance in helping the University with this matter.

May I take this opportunity to offer the University’s continued gratitude to you for your valuable work as an External Examiner.

Yours sincerely
