This letter is free. It is a filled-in template: general information, not legal or tax advice — no rights can be derived from it. You check the letter and send it yourself.

This letter is completely free. There is no paid version and you do not pay for anything.

Deadlines matter: late is often too late. Always check the deadline against the date on your own decision or letter.
