Employee reference on letter head paper

I am hoping to move and have applied to port my mortgage, asi get paid cash I have to have a reference from my employer confirming details of my employment. It has to be on letter headed paper. We are only a small business and don't have any fancy per printed letter paper. Does letter headed simply mean it has to have printed logo , address , vat number ?

    That will be fine.

    They basically just want to tick their boxes. Thats not to say they will accept any old thing but if you work for a plasterer for instance, the chances of them having fancy pre printed paper is quite slim, the same goes for your local newsagents.
