Practice question
A claimant offers an alleged forged demand letter to show the false representation received, expressly not as a genuine letter of the named bank. A recipient identifies it as the exact letter received. Must the claimant necessarily prove the bank truly executed it for that limited purpose?
- Every letter must be offered for truth
- Yes; an alleged forgery can never be evidence of fraud
- Only the named bank can identify any physical letter
- No; that would contradict the specified non-genuine use; identification for the actual claim is required
- Identification automatically proves all fraud elements
