Backdated Degree Verification Draft

I need a clear, professionally-worded request that I can send to my university asking them to verify my degree certificate and forward the confirmation straight to me. The degree was issued several years ago, so wording that anticipates possible archive retrieval or “backdated” record handling is important. Your job is to draft the entire communication package: a concise cover email and a formal letter on my behalf, each explaining exactly which records are to be confirmed, why the verification is needed now, and the specific address and format in which I wish to receive the school’s reply. Please also note any supporting documents the registrar normally expects (photocopy of the certificate, copy of my ID, completed release forms, etc.) so I can attach them immediately. I will provide my personal details, graduation year, and any reference numbers once we start. The final file should be ready for me to copy-paste or print on letterhead without further edits.
