| Pay a visit to the PSB but tell him you are going, giving him the chance to change his mind and write the letter. Then post the school on the Job Information Journal. |

| Get your school's letterhead, and write it up yourself. Most school's managers are to lazy to write them anyway. NO problem! |

two good replies. better then the PSB would be the provincial education bureau. This is something they are good at.
Now if you and your boss are really hot at each other, and he refuses to stamp the short letter that you had a Chinese friend type, there is another out.
You go to a new school, and have them pretend that you are completely new in China. They give a invitation letter, you come to the city, get a residence permit, etc. never mention previous stays in China
(Not the best way) |

Yes, it is COMMON to type it yourself, BUT, BUT: the PSB won't acknowledge it unless it bears a RED-INK SEAL!
That's the most important thing - neither tyhe wording nor the signature but the bloody seal! |

You can forge the letterhead and write your own letter, but you will need your past school to stamp the release letter to make it official. With out the red ink, the letter can not be legally processed by the foreign affairs bureau.
As for moving schools after finishing a contract, you will also need to get a release letter unless you plan on leaving the country in which case you will need a new invitation letter from your new school. A release letter is only needed to transfer your work documentation from one school to another school within China.
A release letter is simply a letter from your school saying that they have released you from your contract or you have fullfilled your contract. It should be stamped with the official school stamp. |

If that is the case then I think you can't work in that area ever again. A friend of mine left EF English farce Huizhou for a better job (5,000 RMB a week rather than a month!), gave in his notice, worked his notice and then the CM (Centre manager aka SD [School Director]) refused to sign his release form so he had to leave China. That's EF for you. |

It's called 'red tape'. The Chinese insist on imperially-red ink. The current crop of Chinese emperors are dyed red in their wool.
There is a whole bunch of such trivial-looking whims. You must not use ballpens when signing important documents (maybe you did!) - use an oldfashioned ink-splotching feather! |

| AND, my Shanghai school was a foreign outfit without a red chop so we got it notorized and that was also acceptable. |
