Visa Documents
We have been invited to visit family in the UK. They have sent us via email all relevant and required documents.
Being originals these documents are in colour.
Can I print them in Black & White???
Will the British Embassy accept Black & White documents as originals??

Help!
To whom it may concern,

Hi, I'm mr Andrews, a 45 yr old personal trainer from Cape Town South Africa.
It is my desire to continue my career in the UK and have found many vacancies/ opportunities available for someone with my experience and qualifications.
I even have some assuring from Virgin Uk that they would be happy to assisst me with employment, however, it is my duty to obtain the necessary visa.

Apparently the only way to make this a reality is to apply for sponsorship in this regard and even then, it does not guarantee me the necessary visa.

I would like to take a chance and ask if there is anyway, YOU as the British Consulate could make an exception in some regard to make this desire of mine a Reality.

I know that this seems an unreasonable request, but I'm merely asking for any help!

I am happy to come to your offices to plea my case if this is in anyway a possibility.

I can be contacted on 0739501232 otherwise email: sevy.andrews@gmail.com.

Kindest Regards
Mr Andrews
