Thanks for your prompt reply sushil..

Well, I am only employee of my limited company and 100% share holder, I was only taking salary from the last 12 months and paid tax.

Apart from the payslips,bank statements and accountant covering letter I am
taking my invoices, contracts, company inicorporation letter as well.

Since the beginning I am working for the same client/agency and all the invoices & contracts will mention only one name so I can even provide that information as well...

Please let me know is the evidence enough or do I need to provide more????

This is quite strange. Wording of your accountant is as if he is not taking any responsibility of generating payslips and advising you on the payment+dividend structure. I would fire him and hire somebody who can is responsible and "accountable" ;-)

HO will definitely think something Fishy seeing this letter.

Ask him to come to senses and provide a normal letter without the Term "RESPONSIBILITY" etc . Looks like this guy is some guy doing some fake accounting .... I have never seen a letter like this having used many accountants ...

My accountants put everything in the cover letter (breakdown of net / gross, dates, etc) and signed it. This way there wouldn't be any issues with different signatures on each page, letterhead, qualifications of accountant, etc. They also put "sole director" and "100% shareholding".

Definitely agree with those who said the "taking no responsibility" wording is an issue. If you are paying them for their services, then they *are* supposed to take responsibility, what are they taking your money for otherwise? And are they properly registered accountants? Because any properly registered accountant should know they are responsible.
