Hi Gunesh,

at the moment its only india/bangladesh and sri lanka. Several of them
had came to Malaysia earlier for Mozilla AsiaCamp, and they said they
only need an invitation letter. I can ask from them for a sample from
the Mozilla AsiaCamp.

IMO, unless they are having problem to apply with just invitation
letter, I dont see the need to request for letter of good conduct.
When they are having trouble, then maybe we go for this route, mainly
because:

* The process requires us to coordinate to request for details from
those involved.
* It incurs additional cost
