How do you verify the authenticity of anything?  This is a common problem
in the Real World, and is hardly limited to LoA's.

How do you prove that what was on Pages 1 to (N-1) of an N page contract
contained the words you think they said?  I knew a guy, back in the early
days, who habitually changed the SLA's in his contracts so that he could
cancel a contract for virtually no reason at all ... the folly of mailing
around contracts as .doc files in e-mail.  But even failing that, it's
pretty trivial to reprint a document, so where do you stop, do you use
special paper, special ink, watermarking of documents, initial each page,
all of the above, etc?

what about using a digital signation of e.g. a pdf version of a scan?
