Letters of support from friends and family

Here is a copy of one we sent in:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to verify my knowledge of a very real relationship between two good friends of mine, sponsor and applicant.

I have known sponsor for more than four years now as we work together. More than a year ago, after separating with her previous husband, sponsor began a friendship with applicant that developed into a long term and sustainable relationship. Applicant and sponsor met online through a social networking site, and their relationship grew quickly. Many nights sponsor spent countless hours on the phone with applicant getting to know each other better. I knew of the relationship between sponsor and applicant for months before I met applicant in person. I met applicant just under one year ago now, and we have become friends. He and sponsor seem to me to be very much in love. I see happiness now in sponsor since being with applicant, that makes her shine.

On many occasions, both personal and work related, I have seen the couple in different environments and I have no doubts that their relationship is true. I know that applicant has asked sponsor to marry him, and I hope that they do remain happy together for many years to come. Applicant has stepped into the challenging role of father figure to sponsor's two teenaged children as well. The family seems quite happy together.

Both sponsor and aplicant are wonderful people, who have found happiness with each other, and my best wishes go to both of them that they get to live out their happily ever after together.


Sincerely,
