Question posted in the General Law category relating to Eastern Cape
Good day,
I need a Letter of Provenance, for a letter I found in a safe many years ago, and would like to sell through Christie's Auctioneers in London.
The representative from Christies asked me to get a letter of provenance explaining how I came in possession of the document, on a lawyer's letterhead. So far, the lawyers I have approached don't seem to understand my request.
Is it that hard to understand?
How do I get a letter like this?

Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
I think that the lawyers you have approached do not understand your request because they think that it might be a scam?
How sure are you of the following -
1) That the letter that you found is worth anything?
2) That you really were speaking to Christies?
3) Why you need the letter of authenticity to be on a lawyer's letterhead?
Did the representative direct you to any specific lawyer?
