Vietnam embassy asked “Please provide a motivation letter and further details about your work.”

Anyone know what they mean by motivation letter?
Answer summary
A motivation letter for your visa application is a document where you explain your reasons for applying and your intentions for living in Thailand. You should include details about your work and financial situation, particularly if you're applying for a work-cation, to clarify that you won't be seeking local employment.

I've included it as part of my application explaining why I don't require local employment and intend to abide by all visa rules. It's straight forward, all the best.

I think they just want you to state the reason you will come to Thailand. For example if it is a work-ation, it could help if you clearly state that you do not intend to work in Thailand as an employee or do business here. That your funds come from elsewhere…
