I'm asked to translate a letter into English. The letter is about one company stating that my mom really works there.

How is this type of a letter called?

I would like to google for an exampe of a similar letter, but i don't know the right keywords.

  • Hi, every so often I go through posts which have "How do you call....?" or "How is/are ______ called?" in their questions or titles. See the discussion in this post: “How do we call (something) in English?” Would you mind editing your body question to “What is this type ....?" Thanks!

In the general sense, if the letter is a general letter from your mother's employer confirming that she works/worked there and that her work was satisfactory (or more than satisfactory), it would be termed as a reference (usually plural references). If, on the other hand, it literally confirms only the fact of her employment, and possibly the conditions of that employment, it would be a statement of employment or letter of employment.
