In the general sense, if the letter is a general letter from your mother's employer confirming that she works/worked there and that her work was satisfactory (or more than satisfactory), it would be termed as a reference (usually plural references). If, on the other hand, it literally confirms only the fact of her employment, and possibly the conditions of that employment, it would be a statement of employment or letter of employment.
