What is a professional reference letter?

[poketax]

I just got a e-mail that I can get a professional reference letter from an service provider if I have been a client for more then 3 years!

But who is requiring this now a days? and how difficult would it be to get a reference letter like that you think?

At this time and age all institutions which are subject to anti money-laundering regulations (banks, brokers, insurers, accountants, attorneys, real estate agents, etc.) are legally bound to verify the identity and credentials of all their potential customers prior to accepting their business. Existing customers, including long-term ones, are also routinely vetted in a similar fashion. Client background checks and evaluation of personal credentials are also conducted by many non-financial businesses – especially, if significant contract values are involved. Reference letters are a common part of this procedure.

I don't know if that is something you ever will need. But for anyone that is not able to get such letters, just drop me a PM I will make you one

Generally, a professional reference letter confirms the nature and length of the professional relationship between the individual (You) and the issuer (Attorney, CPA etc.). If necessary, the document can be customized to meet any particular wording requirements and any specific information can be included.

For instant Euro Pacific Bank can ask for it?!!! I have already been forced to get it two times from my lawyer for an service provider!

Can some tell me how to get such a professional reference letter if I can't get it from anywhere? I don't have such business contacts to be able to request it

You may probably already have figured it out. Go to an CPA or lawyer and get your reference letter from there!

Agree a CPA or Lawyer can easily get you a professional reference letter.
