Request from him a letter that will confirm your stated monthly income as well as your job security. Aside from your employer’s certification, you will also need to pay stubs or invoice statements, if the salary that you are receiving is directly deposited in your bank account. This is necessary to further strengthen your certification and in order for the bank to be more convinced on your desire to loan.
