The letters are then used as evidence in asylum applications.
> To demonstrate how easily such documents can be obtained, an undercover Telegraph reporter paid Taliban officials £40 to produce three fake letters from different regional offices on official headed paper, signed by local administrators. […]
> The official offered two versions: a standard letter for £40 and a “premium” version — complete with an official stamp and a “100 per cent approval rate” — for £200.
