Before you submit, check three things:
1. The dates in this letter match your flight reservation, your employer's
   letter and your bookings exactly.
2. Your main destination is the country where you spend the most nights.
   If nights are split equally, it is the country you enter first.
3. Nothing in the letter claims anything your enclosed documents cannot show.

A letter cannot rescue a weak application. It can stop a strong one being
misread. If your case has a complication - a previous refusal, a
multi-country trip, self-employment, a tight deadline - Flypass Holidays
prepares Schengen applications for non-UK nationals living in the UK.
