invitation letter of duly authorized unit?

Question

Hi, I want to apply for a F visa and I went to the Chinese embassy in Tokyo to ask some questions and they said that I needed an invitation letter of Duly authorized unit. Does this mean that I need to get an invitation letter from the person in China that I will be studying with and take it to get approved by a 'Duly authorized unit'? woman at the embassy said it could take between 1 and 6 months to process but I think I might have misunderstood her as I couldn't hear her properlyIf so do you know where in tokyo I can get this done? I will be staying in Beijing.Also, do you know what the requirements are for the invitation letter are? eg can it be an email and does it need to be signed ect?Thanks

Hi, as I know, an invitation letter issued by a relevant entity or individual in China is enough. I don't think it is necessary to get it approved by any authorized unit. The invitation letter in the form of fax, photocopy or computer printout is acceptable.
