Got a decent printer? Then just write your own letter. Make sure you use decent paper.
PS: If my dentist charged £95 for 10 minutes I'll clock him one!

I asked my accountant for a letter confirming my company income, salary and dividends which i need for my HSMP visa extension. He's asking for £100 for following 5 lines letter
I hereby confirm that my client Mr. XYZ is the director of XYZ Limited (Registered in England No: xxx) from the xxth of May 2007.
As a director of XYZ Limited, Mr. XYZ gross salary income of
£xxx and dividends income of £xxx for the period xxth May 2007 to xxth of
April 2008.
I pay him £90 per month including VAT, Is it normal?
p.s. if someone have the template for accountant letter, would you mind passing it to me. Thanks
Regards
How much does your dentist charge you for a 10 minute consultation which relieves you of pain and discomfort?
If you want to be treated like a professional, I would think you should treat fellow professionals accordingly and not splutter at the sight of their bill.
Just my 2c.

You won't get salary or dividend details off Companies House.
Does seem a bit dear though. You should be looking for an all-in fee anyway that covers references and the such-like.

Or whoever is asking for it pays Companies House £15 for the same information?

The £100 breaks down as follows:
5 line letter: £5
3 years of accountancy training and exams to put him in a position to write it: £95
