THIS LETTER MUST BE DATED AND PRINTED ON THE MEDICAL PROVIDER'S LETTERHEAD. If you have an electronic copy of the letter use the CHOOSE FILE button to attach a copy to this application. (If your provider does not send you the letter electronically, all branches of the Forsyth County Public Library have scanners for public use that can create an electronic copy of your verification letter.)
