I seek a solicitor to lend credibility to a private family matter request through use of their professional letterhead. Specifically, I have drafted correspondence to a relative asking for the return of personal items belonging to my late mother. While the tone is polite and request based, emphasizing the seriousness of my interest may encourage timely cooperation. Rather than engage direct legal services which seem unnecessary, I believe a basic cover letter on solicitor stationery could aid my goal.
The cover letter content would be straightforward, simply referencing the enclosed personal letter and attachments from myself as the client. No legal analysis, revisions or drafting is required beyond printing my pre-written message on your office stationary. Privacy and anonymity is important here as the subject matter is a private family dispute. Your impartial letterhead inserting legitimacy into what is ultimately a private family issue could prove just the tact needed.
Efficiency is valued given the non-complex task. I am open to any suggestions
There may be follow up work in receiving any response etc but that can be discussed at that juncture.
