Dear Madam / Sir

SOCIAL WORKERS REPORT: MELANEY ROBERTS

We have been approached by the above person, who wishes to make an application for a divorce.

Ms Roberts intends to apply to the Legal Aid Board for financial assistance in obtaining this divorce and, therefore, requires a social worker’s report.

We accordingly request that you interview Ms Roberts and draw up a social worker’s report for her to submit with her application.

Yours faithfully,
