FMLA/ADA and Doctor Certification Letter for Accomodation

I have an interesting and challenging FMLA/ADA case on my hands. I need help with a generic letter/form to accompany my employee's job description to her physician which would show that she is able to perform or not able to perform her job duties with or without a reasonable accomodation. At my old job we had a cover letter that we created, but at my new employer they have never had an FMLA or ADA case that required it so I'm starting from scratch. Anything you all could provide to help in the process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
