I sent you the formal offer letter today for employment. To better ensure a successful H1B visa application, I needed to include some other items in the salary. My original base salary for you was in the $31,000 US range. However, with health insurance, that we do not supply anymore due to USA regulations, we will give you $500 per month and you must purchase it on your own. Also, included in the “allowances” part is the cost of lodging in our house and the annual visit airplane tickets to Thailand.
