Hello everybody, I understand there's not a template to follow when it comes to write the sponsor's cover letter. However, I would like to get your expert opinion in the one letter we are about to summit:

"Dear UK Border Agency:

I am writing to you this time, to declare that I would like my husband of 18 years to be issued a Family Permit in order to meet me and our son in London, England.

I arrived to the United Kingdom, on June XXX of this year with the firm intention to settle permanently, and so far I have secured a residence: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Opened bank accounts with XXXXX, signed a contract with a Mobile Phone Company XXXXX, obtained my national insurance card, Iâ€™m working on a part time basis, and I have received calls from different companies that would like to train me in order to retain me on a long term basis.

Therefore, I come to you to please indicate that I would like to exercise my rights of free movement as an European Citizen indicated on Directive 2004/38/EC.

Enclosed you will find the following documents:
â€¢ A certified copy of my Italian passport
â€¢ My husbandâ€™s original passport
â€¢ A photograph of my husband
â€¢ Original certificate of marriage with the appropriate apostille
â€¢ A single photocopy of my pay slip

I will greatly appreciate you consideration in this matter, and should you have any questions or concerns, the best advisable way to address them is via email at: xxxxxxxxxx or xxxxxxxx Although, if we must speak, feel free to call my mobile phone: XXXXXXXXXX

Kind regards,

xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Can anyone weight in on this?

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

In the cover letter you simply state that your spouse will join you in the UK. You can do that in a single simple sentence.

Gotcha...! Maybe we are not quite used to this simplicity.

Suggestion well taken.

Thank-you!

I would simply say:

I am an Italian citizen and am living and working in the UK. This is an application, under EU law, for my husband to be issued an EEA Family Permit so that he can join me in the UK. I understand this application will be processed as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated process.

Well, definitely this one involves pretty much everything, without unnecessary details.

Thanks...! Y'all are great.
