What I did was I emailed my officer in Vetassess and requested for a copy. I explained to her my predicament and the urgency of the matter.
And thankfully she replied agad and she faxed the letter. Whew! And finally nakuha ko din. Laking pasalamat ko sa kanilang lahat. And of course sa inyo dito sa forum. Malaking support system ito.

Papayag un, ito yung email ko. Pwede mo copy pero ibahin mo na lang ung style ng letter mamaya pareho pala tayo ng officer.
Thank you for processing my Vetassess application last.... but I am still waiting for the documents to reach my address. So I would like to ask if you could kindly send me an advance copy of my assessment via email. My email address is ....
The reason for this is that I need to meet the deadline this 30 June 2013, Sunday for my State Sponsorship application. Failure to meet this deadline would mean longer processing time and extra costs to my application.
I hope you understand my situation. I am hoping for your consideration and your reply.
They replied promptly and instead of emailing me the letter, they just faxed it to me instead. Kaya yan, gawin mo na! Good luck!

Mabilis na ata yan. Kse I was contacted by WA SS and request sila ng Funds Info Request. They want the TOTAL amount of funds.
Alam ko nilagay ko yun but ask pa din sila.
And I don't know how to reply. Do I just simply reply back sa email nila?
Hindi ko sure what to do, does anyone know how?
