Based on my experiences, Mark is right on the money. A couple things: Sudan wanted my letter of intro to include my full name (as it appears in the passport), passport #, and date of birth. When I was in Windhoek, the US embassy wrote me a nice intro letter for Angola. The woman in charge of things in the US Embassy knew the woman in charge at the Angolan embassy- she therefore addressed the letter to this Angolan woman. Seems like a nice thing to do, right? Wrong, the documents are faxed to Angola- where they were refused do to the name issue. I had to re-submit a new letter of intro- this one addressed: "To whom it may concern." All part of the fun. Also, I've never been charged for a letter of introduction. Good roads! H.
