Accepted by my University
This was excellent. I had asked for a letter for my University to extend my assignments as I’ve been suffering from mental illnesses (depression/anxiety). I provided them with details from my GP as well as my wellbeing advisor and they had the certificate ready for me within the same day. It has been accepted by my Uni for my EC claim and I couldn’t be more grateful as my GP would’ve taken much longer to have one written
