Hmm. If lawyer isn't a protected title in my home country, I wonder if it's possible for anyone to take a template and refer to themselves as a lawyer with an email to legal. I suspect they'd see through it, but it might convince someone in some cases?

That's not smart for a number of reasons. But why not just give the template to legal and let them do their job?

Or just write and snail-mail a letter from yourself. People respond surprisingly well to requests and offers in a personal/non-bulk letters.
